in front of the body, and in a line with 

 the elbow. The whip is to be carried in 

 the right hand, with the point towards 

 the ground. The horse should never be 

 struck with the whip upon the head, neck, 

 or shoulder. To apply the aid upon 

 those parts will teach him to swerve, 

 and render him nervous at the motions 

 of the rider. In a lady's hand the whip 

 simply takes the place of a spur for the 

 right side. 



The horns of the saddle, the superfluous 

 one at the right being dispensed with, 

 should be of such lengths and curvatures 

 as will suit the rider. 



The right leg will hold the upright 

 horn close in the bend in the knee, by 

 such a pressure as the action of the horse 

 or other circumstances will dictate.
