What is re f tired in order to l>rcparc Horfis for Macif?^, //w**.

F you defign a Horfe for any particular Excrcife, you 

 _ mufl if poflible innure him to it when young, nor is it 

 poflible that any one Horfe can be capable of divers Exer- 

 cifes, fo as to perform them with dexterity, or be as expert 

 in the one as the other, for it is feen in thofe whofe own- 

 ers are defirous to oblige them thereto, that whilft th^y 

 pradife all, they are never capable, or at lealt perfed in any •, 

 nor can any one horfe carry himielfcompleatly in all paces,,

 or be ignorant whk you -would, have him do,, but fitted ta 

 each Leg, when he ftands fair and in juft Proportion, and the 

 inots fo faft'ned, that they may neither flip nor gaul his 

 Ketlocks. To fupport'theni, take Tape, Girth woof, or Lifts, 

 and bring them over his back, fa tJiat you may not fret
