which will make your Body refped a little the Right 

 Side •, and this Pofture will of Neceffity make the 

 Horfe go a little couched upon his Outfide. You muft 

 turn your Head, and look upon the Infide of the 

 Turn to the Infide of the Horfe's Head, which will 

 be a Means to keep your Hand fteady \ for did you 

 look to your inward Shoulder, it would remove your 

 Bridle-Hand too much within the Turn? and did you 

 look juft between the Horfe's Ears, your outward 

 Shoulder would not come in enough, io that neither 

 it, nor you, nor the Horfe, would be oblique as you 

 fhould ; your Bridle-Hand in running the Corners or 

 Angles of the Square muft be carried circularly with 

 the Horfe, and fteadily, but yet only fo as to feel him. 

 Now the Horfe being thus couched upon hisOwr-

 Fore- Leg ; which puts his inward Hind-Leg near to his 

 tutward Hind- Leg, which narrows him behind, ma- 

 king him to bow in Vat Cambrels, efpecially in his 

 outward Hind-Leg^ whereon he refteth moft, and 

 thrufts his inward Hind- Leg under his Belly, which, 

 with all the Helps above-mentioned, makes him go 

 very much upon his Haunches : For the Horfe be- 

 ing thus preft upon the Out-fide, muft of Neceffity 

 look within the Square or Turn *, and his Fore-Farts 

 being enlarged, will make him embrace the Comers 

 of the Square the better when he is to round them : 

 His Hind-Legs alio being within the Lines of his 

 Fore-Legs, he muft needs be upon the Haunches, 

 and his inward Fore-Leg being in a manner pulled 

 from his outward Fore- Leg, his inward Fore- Leg with 

 which he leads will appear to be longer than his out" 

 ward Fore Leg, and make the firft and largeft Circle 

 or Square, which is right ? and fo his outward Fore-Leg 

 will make the ftcond, and his inward Hind-Leg 

 the third, becaufe it is thruft fo much before his
