128 HOESES AND EIDING. 



And if you try to follow liim on a horse tliat is 

 not formed in this manner, you are running a much 

 greater risk than he did, and are much more likely 

 to get a fall than he was. 



Riders without much experience should always 

 bear this in mind, and not think because they see 

 someone else jump a high place with apparent ease, 

 that therefore they can do the same ; whereas, pro- 

 bably the man who jumped it would never have 

 even attempted the leap if he had been riding the 

 horse that they are riding. Many people have got 

 falls from want of knowledge of this fact.
