PREFACE. 



This work should be taken as following on, and in con- 

 junction with, its predecessor on ^'Riding." In that 

 publication will be found various chapters on Action, The 

 Aids, Bits and Bitting, Leaping, Vice, and on other cognate 

 subjects which, without undue repetition, cannot be re- 

 introduced here. These subjects are of importance to and 

 should be studied by all, of either sex, who aim at perfec- 

 tion in the accomplishment of Equitation, and who seek 

 to control and manage the saddle-horse.
