 him out as before ; and when he is perfect at 

 this, but not sooner, try by the same means 

 to place him, while cantering with one leg, in 

 the position which requires him to throw for- 

 ward the other. If you find any difficulty in 

 doing this, it will almost always be because 

 you attempt it at a moment when the horse is 

 not sufficiently collected in his canter.
