 applies light taps with the whip hehind the i^drtli until the 

 horse moves the haunches from left to right. 



The left hand prevents the horse from getting away to 

 the front and b}' opposing the forehand to the haunches, 

 assists the action of the w^hip in moving the hind cjuarters. 



In this movement the forehand should move and tin- 

 fore legs should cross, but on an arc of very small radius. 



Dismounted work should be considered as of only sec- 

 ondary importance. It will be of great benefit with some 

 horses and practically useless wdth others. In any case, 

 dismounted lessons should alwavs be verv brief.
