the laft things a Man fhould teach his Horfe, or he 

 may happen to fpoil him. See PUte 4. Fig. 7. 



If you would have your Horfe go back upon a 

 ftraight Line, then leaning back a little with your 

 Body, and flacking your Thighs, pull equally both 

 the Reins of the Cavezon, one being in each hand 

 very ftrongly, to fee if you can force him back but 

 one (ingle Sep or two at firft *, for if you can bring 

 him to perform that, he will in a fhort time do 

 more \ but if he altogether oppofe you, by fixing 

 his Fore-Legs upon the Ground, and remaining im- 

 movable as a Rock, then pull hard the Reins of the 

 Cavezon one after the other, as if you were fawing 

 of Wood, and this perhaps will make him yield to 

 you. But if notwithstanding this he ftill refill you, 

 then it is a (ign his Shoulders are not yet fupplee- 

 nough for it, therefore cantinue to fupple them yet 

 better, and then he will certainly comply with you. 



Thus you mull do to make your Horfe go back in 

 a ftraight Line, which is the molt ufeful ; but if you 

 would make him go back in a Circle, then make 

 ufe of the inward Rein of the Cavezon, and out- 

 ward Leg, juft as you was ordered to do upon a 

 Stop, and fo make him go back in a Round, which 

 will help alfo to put him upon, his Haunches. Note, 

 That although 1 advifed you to make but gentle 

 Stops at the Beginning, yet I do not fay the fame 

 of going back, becaufe the fooner you accuftom him 

 to go back, the fooner will he be put upon his 

 Haunches. 



After you have fuppled his Shoulders fufficiently, 

 and you ftill find him hard on the Hand, by not 

 being upon his Haunches, thfcn trot him upon large 

 Circles of one Pifte or Tread, of at lea ft twenty four 

 or thirty Foot Diameter, and ftop him often with 

 pretty hard Stops, helping him always with your 

 outward Leg, to bring in his outward Haunch \ 

 and your Shoulders and Body a little back, ftop him
