RIDING 89 



pulling hlin '' over end " on you by the 

 bridle, spur him as hard as you can well 

 back and well under the flank on the 

 side you want him to go ; that will cause 

 him to turn his quarters from and his 

 head to the road you want to go. Be 

 sure and never pull your horse's mouth 

 when he is very straight up, as that 

 causes him to come over on you, and 

 these are nasty dangerous falls. By 

 sliding one arm round the neck you are 

 less likely to drop right under the saddle 

 if you do happen to all come over 

 together ; and it is generally the saddle- 

 pommel does the injury when you are 

 come over on. 



Let us divide horsemanship under four 

 headings, please — Seat, Hands, Pluck, and 

 Judgment. No man is a perfect horse- 

 man who combines any three of these 

 minus the other.
