wall Upon his left hand. He will then unite the 

 horse more closely, bend the head slightly to the 

 right, and apply the left heel to bring the croup to 

 the right, and between the aids move the horse to 

 the right upon two paths, the forehand slightly in 

 advance of the croup, so that the left fore-leg may 

 pass in front of the right fore-leg, the left hind-leg 

 in front of the right hind-leg. The right snaffle 

 rein, supported and its effects measured by the left 

 snaffle rein, will conduct the forehand, and demand 

 the bend of the head and neck ; the left heel will 

 demand the position of the body, and keep up the 

 impulses ; while the right heel measures its effects, 

 keeps the croup from going over too far, and 

 prevents the horse falling back from the line of 

 movement. In chano;ino: direction to the rio^ht, the 

 forehand will follow the circumference of the 

 larger circle, while the croup upon the circumference 

 of the smaller circle will be retarded, so that the 

 body of the horse may hold the same position with 

 reference to the two paths at every point of the 

 turn [see Diagram). When the change of direction 

 has been made, the forehand and the croup will 

 move in unison, the body of the horse being diagon- 

 ally across the parallel paths, the forehand slightly 

 in advance of the croup.
