328 THE horse's rescue. 



about as well as I can. The light perpendicular lines, A and C C, are 

 the natural lines ; the space between A and C, center perpendicular 

 lines. The horse is out of his circle and off his base that much. You 

 will find that throws all out of harmony of action ; the same degree 

 the horse is all out of his balance. Look ; there are two sets of cir- 

 cles and lines, you can see. Tliis only shows in this small cut a small 

 degree. The horse is off his base or behind himself. Take a full- 

 sized horse and hne him as this cut is lined ; you can find lots of horses 

 off their base eighteen inches, and some more. I have marked and 

 figured a few degrees. The horse in this condition cannot step far, he 

 has not got much action. He has lost his lever power, caused by con- 

 traction ; he is sick ; all is out of mash. The machine will not run 

 much, and heats badly when put in motion. He cannot rotate from 

 B B to A ; he cannot rear up or kick up either way ; neither can he 

 any better turn around. It all works the same when he gets up or 

 lies down. Roll him back until A line comes to P, then there will be 

 only one set of circles and lines, you can see. If it is done right a 

 will in harmoy of action be. I have left this cut as little complicated 

 as I could and convey what I wanted to. If I had laid out two seta 

 of gearing, and put all in these cuts which I could, it would about 

 spoilt them to convey tlie principles that I well understand to others. 

 Look where fulcrum E is ; it should be where the forward circles cross 

 lines on heavy perpendicular, P, line, then A would take the place of 

 S and in the center be; and T T would move forward with C C. 

 There are six centers now. If that was done there would be only 

 three. Take hold of circle at the top at point and line A, move it for- 

 ward ; the circle wouW at that point travel a large degree, while it 

 would hardly move at R and A. That you could see all would come 

 in one line, then all in harmony would be. This poor horse's body 

 must all move forward and his feet remain where they are. This may 

 look like a hard job to do without medicine of any kind, and yet it can 

 be done, and it is a very simple job to do when once understood. As the 

 horse's body moves forward, no matter what degree, if it is done 

 right, his back will straighten across the loin, and his head will rise a3 

 bis body moves forward, no matter what degree, until all is in 

 harmony.
