38 TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. 



produced more violent force on the part of 

 the brute, Baucher sought out the sources 

 of these resistances, and conquered them in 

 detail. 



Is it not worth a few weeks' pleasant la- 

 bor with your horse to be able to make him 

 move with the grace, elegance, and majesty 

 of this one, or of those we have since seen 

 ridden by Derious, and that French Amazon, 

 Caroline Loyo ? It is within the power of 

 every one to do this to a certain extent; 

 and as the education of the rider advances 

 progressively with that of the horse, there 

 are, as Baucher himself says, no limits to 

 the progress of horsemanship, and no per- 

 formance, equestrianly possible, which a 

 horseman, who will properly apply these 

 principles, cannot make his horse execute.
