PARK RIDING. 39 



When dressing a horse or riding united, the 

 bridle hand must be held about three inches 

 from the waist, on a level with the elbow, if the 

 horse's head is well placed. 



" A good hand is not only the offspring of a 

 firm and good seat, but owing likewise to the 

 proportions and harmony of all the other aids." 



" A pure horseman can easily be distinguished 

 by the lightness of his hands."
