34 NOTES ON EQUITATION 



To change direction to the right then, the aids to be 

 used are the right rein and the right leg.* 



In the first lesson, the turning movement will not be 

 executed with precision but this is of small importance. 



It is not a question of bending the horse on a quarter 

 circle as should be done with a trained horse; all that is 

 necessary is to make the horse understand what action re- 

 sults from the opening of one rein and the closing of one leg. 



When the leg and rein on the same side are used as aids, 

 they are called ^a^ero/ aids; thus, also, lateral effects and 

 lateral equitation ( The Board)
