40 THE HORSEMAN'S MANUAL. 



rein, passing square across the manege from one wall to the 

 other; and when arrived at the opposite wall, the rider 

 must square him, encourage him for what he has 'done, and 

 commence the left shoulder -in, or he may be turned to the 

 right, and continue the right pass. 



To Turn in the Passage. 



As in working the shoulder -in the turns are made on 

 the fore feet, so in working the passage, they are made on 

 the hind feet ; to do which, if the rider wishes to turn to 

 the right, he must stay the horse's hind feet by closing the 

 right leg, the right rein leading his forehand round, the 

 left rein supporting and assisting the right, the left leg 

 being closed, prevents his quarters from swerving to the 

 left during the turn. When the turn is made, he can re- 

 sume the aids for the right passage, by easing the pressure 

 of the right or inward leg, and lead off with the right or 

 inward rein. 



To Halt in the Passage. 



To halt the horse in the right pass, feel both reins, and 

 close the right or inward leg. 



To Turn from Right Pass to Right 

 Shoulder-in. 



To turn the horse from right pass to right shoulder -in, 

 feel the right rein, and close the right leg strongly ; at the 

 same time supporting him with the left leg and rein. The 

 horse should be made to turn on his own centre, his fore 

 and hind feet describing a circle. When turned, lead him 

 off with the left rein.
