 under the horse's chin, the man should apply the 

 whip in light strokes upon the rump ; as soon as 

 a hind leg is carried under the body the horse 

 should be rewarded, and the lesson then be 

 resumed, and the other hind leg be brought up. 

 In time the horse, mounted or unmounted, can 

 be made to carry both hind legs w^ell under its 

 body. 



When the mounted horse w^ill answer readily 

 the combined applications of the whip and of the 

 heels, the whip taps should be dispensed with, 

 and the hind legs should be carried under the 

 mass at the pressure of the rider's heels, while 

 the hand gently keeps the forehand in place.
