RIDING FOR LADIES. 



America. The Jackson can be used with or without an 

 upper jaw bit, and has the reins of the check to run through 

 loops directly tmder the ears — where some tandem lines 

 go. This has the effect of giving a lofty carriage to the 

 head, without making the horse poke his nose as the 

 Carleton does. No noseband is employed with it, and the 

 wearer can hold his head in handsome position — which is 

 an immense advantage with a carriage horse, in which up- 

 headedness is an essential attribute. It is in some points 

 quite before the Carleton, which latter (if constantly used) 

 imparts absolute rigidity to the muscles of the neck, and 

 intensifies the evil known as " £?2£;^ "-neck ; but for helping 

 the trot, and teaching sense to a youngster, the Carleton 

 beats anything that I have ever seen.
