48 THE ART OF 



is ordinarily marked by an angle of the wall, 

 or de haie, the rider will assist the horse, 

 by taking this angle well, to turn regularly, 

 for that purpose he will carry the hand to the 

 left, and will turn it afterwards in a manner 

 that the thumb may be directed on this side, 

 and the little finger, towards the right, the nails 

 a little above, in order to make the right rein 

 act more or less according to the sensibility 

 of the lower jaws, and as soon as the horse 

 will have obeyed, you will keep him as before 

 in a right line. That this movement may be 

 executed regularly, it is necessary that the 

 head, the shoulders, and the hips pass suc- 

 cessively in the angle, and so make at the 

 same time the help of the legs felt, but par- 

 ticularly of the right, in order that the back 

 part of the horse may not be slow. 



After having again travelled over a certain 

 distance in a right line, you will execute one 

 as the first time, to the right, to put yourself 

 in a parallel line to the first, and at the end of 

 this line you will dispose yourself to turn in 

 the inverse sense to the two former terms, 

 that is to say, by turning the nails a little 

 downwards, and by pressing the left leg a lit- 

 tle more.
