HoRSK Training by Modern Methods. 49 



Soft ground means tiirf or dirt roads, not plowed land 

 or stone-built roads. The gallop is undertaken outdoors 

 only when the horse can be made to lead from either foot. 



By going in pairs nervous horses do not fret while 

 outdoors, as much as though alone. It is likewise bet- 

 ter not to maintain a formation in ranks while outdoors, 

 any more than necessary, in order to prevent the new 

 horses from acquiring the habit of going in ranks and 

 refusing to leave. 



During the last part of outdoor exercise the horse 

 should) be walked so that he is returned to tlie stable 

 breathing normally.
