6. The right leg remains ready to maintain the ad- 

 vanced position of the center of gravity and Hkewise to 

 limit the ^movement of the haunches to that side. 



7, The seat should be carried to the right to facil- 

 itate the displacement of the haunches to that side. 



About oil the Haunches. — This movement is more 

 difficult than the about on the forehand and should be 

 undertaken only after the work on two tracks is well 

 understood. 



The movement is first taught by moving the horse 

 on two tracks on a/ small circle; for example, to the right, 

 with haunches in. 



Gradually decreas^e the diameter of the circle as the 

 horse becomes proficient. As the circle becomes smaller 

 change the direction of the rein so that the direction of 

 the pull is toward the right haunch to weight the latter 

 down. Likewise increase the pressure of the left leg un- 

 til it is sufficient to prevent little by little any movement 

 on the part of the haunches. The circle then is finally 

 diminished soi that the movement is that of a circle on 

 the part of the forehand about the right hind leg as a
