TRAINING YOUNG 



Fig. 23 



BAY MARE 



Balance fairly good. Winner of the Championship at Dlympia, 1910, for jumpint;, 

 also many other prizes. A very sticky fencer naturally, but a clever hunter and abso- 

 lutely safe over any timber. She could never extend herself freely over water. She had 

 a liard mouth and through not obeying her bit she \YOuld at times come wrong at her 

 fences, but owing to her exceptional spring she would never hit a fence 



extension of the horse's four legs propor- 

 tionately. This is commonly called "coming 

 back to the hand." The more highly the horse 

 is trained the finer is the adjustment of the limbs 

 produced by the bit in sympathetic hands.
