 the snaffle in the right hand. The right 

 leg will be kept close to the side of the 

 horse to prevent the croup coming against 

 it, and to keep that side of the horse up 

 in its place in the movement if required. 

 The fore-hand will be brouo-ht about in 

 this way until the horse's position is 

 reversed, and he stands facing the direc- 

 tion opposite to that from which he 

 started. Then he will be put in line, 

 the rio^ht lecj of the rider beins^ used 

 to bring up the right side of the horse. 

 By the assistance of the aids, right and 

 left beinor exchano:ed, the horse will be 

 practised in the movement to the right.
