2 1 o The Compleat Horfeman : or, 



ufe always of the outward Rem when you would 

 bring in his outward Shoulder. I fhould next proceed 

 to fpeak of Corvets, but becaufe a Horfe fhould be 

 perfed in Ve fates before he comes to Corve ts 3 1 fhall 

 explain them to you. 



CHAP. X. 



Of Pefaes* 



APefate is when a Horfe rifes handfomtly hefore 9 

 and upon his Haunches, and at the fame time 

 bends his Fore-Legs up to bis Body : Now this is fo 

 necelTary an Adion, that without a Horfe can do it 

 perfe&ly, he fhall never go well in any Ayre : The 

 Cavez.otfs inward Rein being in your Hand, or tied to 

 the Pommel, help him with the outward Rein of the 

 Bridle, and in Pajfaging raife him as high as you can, 

 and hold him there gently, without giving him oc- 

 cafion to fret \ then walk him a little, and raife him 

 again, and do this quite round the Volt or large 

 Circle you are working him upon, which will make 

 him in a (hort time to form a true Pefate. Now, j 

 altho' your Horfe mult be per fed in Pe fates, before 

 you offer to put him upon any Ayre, yet they fhould { 

 never be taught him at firft Riding, before he is 1 

 pretty far advanced in the Manage, and be rendred 

 obedient to the Hand and Heels. 



if your Horfe do not encline to rife eaiily before 

 upon Pefates, when you are upon his Back, then put 

 him between the Pillars, as in Plate ■ 5. Fig. 4. helping 

 him with two Rods upon the outfide of his Fore- 

 thighs, and in a fhort Time he will come to do it. 

 Now I do not think that the Pillars ferve for any 

 other ufe but this, neither would I ever advife you 

 to make ufe of them but in this cafe ; and fo foon as 

 ever you find your Horfe to rife eaiily, then take 



him
