to conftrain too much, will likewife afiift tfee 

 Branch to raife. 



VII. Fig. 7. 



Another Branch which brings in a Horfe*s Head more 



than the preceding. 



This is hardy about two thirds of an Inch at the 

 Sevil-bole, and hath a falfe Hamme, that is, the 

 Branch at that part is bruifed or fet forwards, fo 

 that the moft advanced part of this Branch is about 

 an Inch and three quarters. 



The principal effect of this Branch is to bring in, 

 it being hardy to the very Sevil-hole; The half 

 Hamme augments itsftrength,and the lower part of 

 the Branch which ftands inclined towards the Horfe's 

 Neck, makes it to raife a little - y fo that it will be 

 good for aHorfe which carries his Neck ftraight out, 

 and hath therefore difficulty to bring in his Head to 

 fuch a becoming Pofture as it ought. 



This Branch brings in a great deal, and raifes but 

 little, which is juft what we fhould make ufeof for 

 fuch ftraight ftretched Necks, becaufe by bringing 

 their Heads very much in, we oblige them to turn 

 and bend their ftraight Necks after the form of an, 

 Arch : But fince it would be dangerous ro bring 

 them too much in, and thereby to bring their Heads 

 betwixt their Legs, therefore the lower part of 

 the Branch is made to incline backwards towards 

 the Horfe's Neck, which raifes and places their 

 Heads in the molt beautiful pofture fuch Necks are 

 capable of. 



VIII. Fig. 8. 

 Another Branch more hardy than the yrecedi?i<r. 



This Branch is hardy about an Inch and one iixth 

 part of an Inch, and being equally hardy at the 

 Hamme and Sevil-hole, is proper for Horfes which 

 carry their Heads high enough, but thruft out their 

 Nofes. If a Man make good ufe of his Legs, as he 

 is pnlling m hard a Horfe's Head, there are very
