APPENDIX 



Example of a "reprise" which might serve as a 

 preparation of an officer's charger for the championship. 



This " reprise " designedly eomposcd of numerous 

 movements, gives the horseman the opportunity of 

 attempting all the difficulties of horsemanship, and a 

 jury the means of assuring themselves — 



1. That the horse moves straight at the various 

 paces. 



2. That he passes easily — as Avell on the straight 

 line as in the changes of direction — from the slow 

 cadenced paces to the extended paces. 



3. Of appreciating the degree of obedience of the 

 horse by the facility, more or less great, with which 

 he moves — to both hands — his quarters round his 

 shoulders, and his shoulders round his quarters. 



4. Of judging the power and delicacy of the rider's 

 aids, the movements demanded being carried out 

 between lines and points carefully fixed. 



The judges, in order to be able to form an exact 

 opinion as to the precision with which the work is 

 done, should stand in the centre of one end of the 

 riding school. 



The walk. — To walk the length of the school and back. 



Whilst coming down the centre of the school, with 

 the right leg closed into the horse, and the horse's near 

 quarter inclined slightly to the left. 



After a few side paces, complete the half-turn on 

 the -shoulders.
