 With tliis completion, the left articulation of the 

 lower jaw must come on its outer bearing. This 

 the rider hinders by drawing the right rein. In 

 the same moment, with the left spur, he tempora-

 of the right posterior, will induce the horse to 

 change the working head condyle from left to 

 right directly, i. e., without the intermediate move- 

 ments, and in connection with the neck only. 



The right head condyle will then raise the left 

 fore-foot in its neck connection and put it down, 

 whereupon the ophidian cycle, only suspended in 

 its action, will resume the trotting movement for 

 the hind-legs, the right hind-foot will be put down, 

 and the walk' inaugurated, § 145.
