24 HOW TO RIDE 



to the ground, as by an incumbent 

 weight, and if action takes pLace it must 

 either be in rearins; or in kickino;. 



If the forces of the croup pre- 

 dominate, and the fore-hand does not 

 yield to correspond, then the action of 

 this latter part is hampered. But if, 

 as the forces of the croup seek to 

 advance the point of union, an advance 

 is made by the fore-quarters, the equi- 

 librium may still be approximately ob- 

 tained. That is, if this equilibrium is 

 to be maintained, the forward movement 

 of the fore-hand will be permitted as 

 the forces of the croup are brought 

 forward. 



If the speed is to be increased, the 

 legs will act upon the croup, and the 

 hand will give freedom to the fore-hand.
