TO CIRCLE AT ANY POINT. 



The class being in line at the wall, command : 



1. Circle, 2. March; 

 or, if passing through the ring, command : 



1. Right (or left) circle, 2. March ; 

 the circle in either case being executed on a fixed pivot, in 

 the same manner as in turning a corner. Guide by the out- 

 side flank; feel lightly the leg on either side, but resist 

 pressure from the pivot. The outside flaiik rider watches 

 the line and gradually increases or decreases his circle, as he 

 sees crowding or opening in the same. The riders, while 

 guiding by the outside flank, glance from time to time 

 toward the pivot, and, if too close or open, correct their 

 positions by increasing or decreasing their circles, and not 

 by moving sideways. 



TO circle on a movable pivot. 



Plate 4^7 b. — As in executing the large circle, the out- 

 side riders will increase their gait, while those toward the 

 pivot will decrease theirs. The rider on the pivot flank 

 keeps his horse moving, and rides on a smaller or larger cir- 

 cle, as may be required. 



In circling and turning, while keeping in a straight line, 

 the inside riders should favor those toward the outside flank, 

 as these can not so easily recover their positions, if lost, as 

 the inside riders can hold back. 



Plate Jf9. — When the width of a column or line is more 

 than one half the width of the rftig, or when wheeling in 

 line to halt in the center of the ring at one end, in both 

 cases the pivot being at some distance from the pivot flank, 

 the turning requires different execution from the ordinary 

 wheeling. As the line approaches the end of the ring, the 

 riders gradually assume an oblique position in line, as shown, 

 bringing the outside flank farther into the corner, and en- 

 abling those on the pivot flank to keep in position with as
