direction in which the horse q-qcs, the inner fore-lee 

 and the inner hind-leg passing in front of the outer 

 fore-leg and outer hind-leg respectively. 



To make the horse pass with its left side in 

 advance (right shoulder in), the rider will put the 

 animal into a walk, his left hand being next to the 

 wall. He will then collect the animal, increase the 

 pressures of the right heel and the tension upon the 

 right rein until the head is slightly bent away from 

 the direction of the movement, while the left heel 

 and the left rein measure and control the effects of 

 their corresponding aids. By careful applications of 

 the aids (the accentuated pressures of the right heel 

 beinor alven as the left fore-lee is beinpf extended in 

 each stride, to support its action and hasten the 

 action of the right hind-leg, the impulses being 

 received on both reins) the horse will be made to 

 pass along to the left upon two paths — the forehand, 

 slightly in advance of the croup, being upon the path 

 furthest from the wall, the croup upon the path next 

 to the wall, the head slightly bent to the right, the 

 right fore-leg and the right hind-leg passing in 

 front of the left fore-leg and the left hind-leg. In 

 changing direction to the right (that is, the horse 

 still moving to the left, but making the turn that 

 would be to the right were the animal advancing 

 upon a single path), the forehand must be slightly
