CHANGES IN THE GALLOP. 



It is ao;reed on all sides that the 

 changes in the gallop are not only the 

 most striking and important of all the 

 movements, but that in them is also 

 found the highest test of the skill of the 

 rider. But hardly any two authorities 

 have agreed upon the method by which 

 this is to be tauo;ht, and few can be found 

 who hold the same opinion as to the best 

 manner of making the trained horse 

 change in the gallop. I have never 

 had any faith in the method so usually 

 accepted, even by the highest authority, 

 of teaching the horse to gallop by a 

 false method, to afterwards substitute 

 a better one in demanding his perform- 

 ance of that pace.
