2. Direct flexions of the jaw, and depression of the 

 neck. 



3. Lateral flexions of the neck with the snaffle-reins

Stationary exercise, the rider on horse-hach. — 1. Later- 

 al flexions of the neck with the snaffle-reins, and with the 

 curb-reins. 



2. Direct flexions of the head or placing it in a per- 

 pendicular position with the snaffle, and with the curb- 

 reins. 



Hind-parts. — 3. Lateral flexions, and moving the croup 

 around the shoulders, 



4. Rotation of the shoulders around the haunches. 



5. Combining the play of the fore and hind legs of the 

 horse, or backing. 



I have placed the rotation of the shoulders around the 

 haunches in the nomenclatere of stationary exercise. 

 But the ordinary pivoting, or pirouettes, being a pretty 

 complicated movement, and one difficult for the horse, 

 he should not be completely exercised in it until he has 

 acquired the measured time of the walk, and of the trot, 

 and will easily execute the changes of direction.
