trot, he will collect the animal between heels and 

 hand. At the turn the rider will make an upward 

 play with the right rein, support it with the left, 

 retire the right shoulder, press in both heels, the 

 left more strongly than the other, and apply the 

 whip to the left side behind the girth. 



When the horse takes the gallop in the new 

 direction it will be straightened if the croup is 

 bent too much to the right. To enable the horse 

 to keep the gallop, the rider must sit perfectly 

 quiet, and in retiring his right shoulder at the 

 beginning of the movement must take care that he 

 does not disturb his seat. 



The horse will be made to gallop with his left 

 side leading by applying the corresponding aids in 

 the same way. 



The horse will be kept in the gallop by the hand 

 demanding lightness and restraining the speed and 

 the legs maintaining the action. Horses low in 

 the forehand are apt to 'gallop upon the shoulders ' 

 in the snaffle bit, and care must be taken to pre- 

 vent this habit. To bring the horse to a halt, the 

 rider will first collect the horse, without decreasing 

 the speed, and then, by a closer pressure of the 

 heels and a greater tension upon the reins, bring 

 the horse into a trot, and afterwards to a walk and 

 a halt.
