 again to the halt, the instructor will cause 

 them to go round the school at the walk 

 and trot without using their reins, folding 

 theh^ arms in front or behind their backs, 

 or letting them hang straight from the 

 shoulder, the reins being dropped on the 

 horse's withers, and to do the extension and 

 balance motions while their horses are in 

 motion.
