VOL TING SINGLY. 



57 



When these movements in file, at the walk and 

 the trot, have given the pupils the habit of control- 

 ling their horses with decision and regularity, the 

 teacher should explain to them the difference be- 

 tween these and individual movements. The col- 

 umn being at a walk, and on the right hand, the 

 teacher will say :. 



I. Prepare to volte singly. 



Each pupil leaves the line at the same moment 

 as the others, executes a circular line of twelve steps 

 as in a private lesson, and takes her place in the line 

 again. 



2. Volte singly. 



Next in order comes : 



I . Prepare to half -volte singly. 



This is done exactly as in a private lesson, the 

 pupils taking care to do it in time with one another, 

 in order to reach their places at the same moment. 



2. Half -volte singly. 



I. Prepare for the reversed half -volte singly. 



The pupils leave their places simultaneously by 

 a diagonal line, and return to the same track ; but, 

 on the other hand, by a circular line of six steps. 



2. Reversed half -volte singly. 



These movements are here given on the right 

 hand ; but they may, of course, be done equally well 

 on the left hand by reversing the terms. 



I recommend teachers not to keep their pupils
