3H RIDING OVER A COUNTRY. 



will be punished for disobedience, he will be rewarded for 

 compliance with our wishes. 



When following hounds, we should not persevere at a 

 fence which our horse refuses, unless there is no other 

 way over; for the hunting field is not a place for breaking 

 in horses, and the temporary disagreement may be forgotten 

 in the successful negotiation of subsequent obstacles. Besides, 

 we must remember that often out hunting, and especially in 

 Leicestershire, there is only one practicable jump into the 

 next field at which each rider takes his turn. In the case 

 of a refusal the rider of the refuser should pull his horse 

 away and not make a second attempt to clear the obstacle 

 until his turn comes again. Much annoyance is caused in 

 the hunting-field by the ignorant non-observance of this 

 rule.
