TRAINING. 141 



To make too great an observance of the half-halt 

 in these movements shows a want of skill ; not to 

 observe the half-halt at all, but to pull the horse 

 violently around, as some horsemen (and some of 

 these with high reputations) do, and then to make 

 the gallop change, if necessary, in a struggle, shows 

 want of method. 



With the movements I have explained, the reader 

 can form a great variety of combinations, a descrip- 

 tion of which should be unnecessary.
