212 'the Comfkat Horjewan : or 



pf theHorfe which comes to you, that is, bend a 

 little to him as he rifes, but fo infenfibly that the 

 Spectators may not perceive it : You are alfo to fit as 

 forward to the Pommel as you can, your Body be- 

 ing ftrait, and your Thighs and Knees as clofe as if 

 they were glued to the Saddle, but your toes a little 

 down and low, that you may have your Nerves weak 

 from the Knees downwards, and ftrong from the 

 Knees upwards, and do not help him with your Legs 

 at all, unlefs he put in his Croup too much, which 

 mull be put out with your inward Leg *, or put out his 

 Croup too much, which muft be put in with your out* 

 ward Leg : But except in thefe cafes, or that he go 

 not forward enough at each Time, never help him 

 with your Legs, but leave his Croup free and at li- 

 berty to follow his Fore-Tarts which lead. 



To make him go in Corvets ftrait forwards, or along 

 a Wall, tie the Caverns Rein which is from the Wall, 

 to keep that Hind-Leg near to the other Hind-Leg 

 which is next the Wall, and begin with two or three 

 Tefates, and then walk him forwards a little, then 

 Corvet him again ; and if you feel him on the Hand, 

 and that he alfo go forward with it, he will quickly 

 be dreft ; but if he prefs forward too much, then 

 caufe him to make his Corvets in one place, and then 

 put him on again. But to make this more plain, 

 fuppofe it be your right Shoulder that is next the 

 Wall, then you mult tie the left Rein of the Cave- 

 zon to the Pommel, which doth not only keep back 

 the Hind-Leg upon the fame fide the Cavezon Rein is 

 tied, but alfo fupples and prepares him to go Corvets 

 upon the Volts to the left-hand. Again, if it be your 

 left Shoulder which is to the Wall, tie the right Rein 

 of the Cavezon to the Tommel for the fame Reafons, 

 firft walking him, and then railing him upon Corvets, 

 until you make him continue his Corvets without 

 intermiflion the whole length of the Wall. And as 

 for the Bridle-hand you muft remember that in Cor-
