42 PARK RIDING. 



and steady, and the more the horse is united the 

 better. From perfecting yourself with both hands 

 in this lesson, proceed to work with one hand. 

 The true position of the horse in the passage is 

 nearly the same as in the united gallop, action 

 and time excepted. 



The horse always looks upon the ground he is 

 passing over. Draw from bridle hand the rein 

 with right hand sufficiently out to raise the rein, 

 when going to the left. The inner hand is always 

 to be lowest, the outer hand to be about twelve 

 inches higher or raised, to balance the horse. 

 The whip must be used to direct the shoulders, 

 and the heel the croup. 



The action in passage is grand, and as regular 

 as the beats of a clock. 



" The four legs of the horse may be compared 

 to the four strings of a musical instrument ; if the 

 four cords do not correspond, it is impossible 

 there should be any music." 



The justness of the aids of the body depends 

 upon the seat of the rider.
