RUNNING MARTINGALES 

 Running martingales assist in bringing a horse 

 under control. They should not be too tight 

 to interfere with his freedom. With a double 

 bridle the martingale should generally be 

 attached by the rings to the bit reins, and 

 should have no bearino' on the rein when the 

 head is placed correctly. 



THE VALUE OF UP AND DOWN 

 HILL WORK 



Work uphill puts muscle on behind the saddle, 

 but much galloping uphill tends to shorten a 

 horse's stride. On the other hand, if a horse 

 is occasionally well-extended down a gentle 

 slope, he will learn how to make full use of his 

 shoulders.
