Horse Training by AIodern Methods. 8i 



From Paragraph 3 : To facilitate the bringing well 

 up under the body of the hind leg, the rider's legs must 

 be carried back. 



From Paragraph 5 : The weight of the rider's bod)' 

 must set to thq rear to assist the horse by ligh.tening the 

 load on the forehand while landing. If a severe bit or 

 a hard hand pulls the head in and bends the neck while 

 the horse is in this position, by cramping the muscles of 

 the neck the horse is prevented from stretching his legs 

 to the front to insure a safe landing. 



From paragraph 7: If the rider's weight is forward 



or he is thrown upon the horse's neck while the horse is 



« 



landing, the extra weight on, the forehand prevents the 

 fore leg being ])icked up and causes over-reaching. Ex- 

 treme speed h'ls the same effect with the same result. 



From Paragraphs 8 and 9: It is seen that the horse 

 is galloping with the other lead after landing. In jump- 

 ing in the riding-hall care should be exercised at the cor- 

 ner beyond the jump if at the gallop, for, if galloping 

 correctly at the start, the horse is galloping false after 

 T the jump.
