CHAPTER XII.— IN THE GALLOP. 



TRAVERS AND RENVERS— VOLTES AND DEMJ VOLTES— 



WHEELS AND HALF- WHEELS— TURNS— 



FIR UE TTE- VOL TES. 



Travers and Renvers are produced in the gallop 

 exactly as in the trot, the horse being in gallop 

 right when the right side is in advance, in gallop 

 left when the left side is in advance, the head bent 

 in the direction of the movement, the forehand 

 upon one path slightly in advance of the croup upon 

 a parallel path. 



For the movements upon two paths the pace 

 should either be the school gallop or a slow gallop 

 of three beats. 



After the horse is fairly well accustomed to pass 

 on straight lines and to make the ordinary changes 

 of direction of 90°, it should be brought to make the 

 travers in the gallop, to either hand, upon whole 

 circles of large diameters, gradually reducing these. 

 The work upon the circles should not be continued 

 for any length of time at any one lesson, and the 

 circles should not be much reduced too rapidly,
