I08 MODERN HORSEMANSHIP. 



pressure of the left heel should be given as the right 

 fore-leg of the horse is raised in each stride. In all 

 the movements upon two paths the fore-leg and the 

 hind-leg of the side opposite to that with w^hich the 

 horse is leading pass in front of the fore-leg and the 

 hind-leg, respectively, of the other side. 



At first these movements should be made only at 

 the walk, and with the wall to aid the rider in keep- 

 ing his horse true to the line of movement ; but 

 after the animal becomes obedient to hand and heel 

 it should be made to pass in circles of various 

 diameters, and in other figures, as well as upon 

 straight lines, and it should be changed from 

 renvers to fravers, from tj'avers to renvers, care 

 being taken that the proper bend is always main- 

 tained, and that the body of the horse always holds 

 its true position across the paths of the movement 

 whatever be the form of the line that is followed. 



In further explanation of these movements the 

 reader is referred to the illustrations of travers, 

 renvers, and shoulder-in, and to the diao-ram.
