PARK RIDING. ZO 



To change leg of horse in the canter. 



Make a kind of half stop, throw your body 

 back to overbalance the horse in the over when 

 the action is about to commence, and reverse the 

 leg you commenced with. Change reins to right 

 hand, use the whip instead of heel ; give an incli- 

 nation of the body forward, by advancing the left 

 shoulder and hip, the inner hand a little lower 

 than the other. A change is no more than alter- 

 ing the hand to which you were going, or the 

 foot with which you were leading. 



To circle and figure go in the canter. 



Lead across in going to the right with the 

 right leg ; at the turn change the horse's leg to 

 left; when going to the left, lead across with 

 the left leg, and at the turn change the horse's 

 leg to right, and so continue this alternate move- 

 ment at each corner ; attend to your balance, 

 watch the horse's ears, and change altogether 

 with him.
