 THE FEET 



The assistance that the feet 

 render in riding conies so natur- 

 ally in connection v/ith the treat- 

 ment of other topics that there is 

 left Httle to say here except as to 

 the proper form by -which the feet 

 are to be carried in the stirrups. 



There are three rules that one 

 should never forget: First, the 

 feet must always be carried near- 

 ly parallel to the horse's body, 

 with the toe turned out very 

 little, and the heel pressed dow^n-
