Jumping. 



Jumping is an exercise which when properly under- 

 taken is most instructive and productive of good results 

 to both man and horse. 



Mkchanism of the Jump for Height. 

 (Jumping from the Gallop Left.) 



1. As the left fore foot is about to leave the ground, 

 just before the moment of suspension of the gallop, the 

 leg, especially the fetlock joint, is straightened. 



2. The head and neck are elevated. 



The above movement raises the forehand. 



3. Just as the left foot is raised the two hind legs 

 are brought up to a place on the ground about where the 

 left fore foot was.
