Part I. PerfeSi Farrier. 215 



vets forward you are always to help with the Rein 

 next to the Wall or outward Rein, to enlarge him 

 before, and to narrow htm behind, becaufe he leads 

 with his Fore-Parts, and his Hind-Parts follow to keep 

 the Ground which his Fore-Parts have got, his Fore- 

 Parts being at liberty, and his Hind-Parts preft. 



If your Horfe beat upon the Hand, it is becaufe 

 he does not endure or obey the Curb, and in that 

 cafe you mult raife him very high upon Pefates, and 

 hold him there, which will put him upon the Curb, 

 and make him endure it ; but if this will not do, 

 then Gallop him upon a ftrait Line by a Wall, or 

 otherways, and from his Gallop flay him upon the 

 Hand, and then let him go in Corvets ; or let him 

 gallop forward a Ihort Gallop, then flop him and 

 raife him three our four Pe fates very high, and hold 

 him on the Hand when he is up ; and this in all 

 probability will cure him *, if not, then trot him, and 

 flop him with good hard Stops, and alfo pull him back 

 fometimes, and this will fettle him upon the Hand r 

 Your Stirrups mull be of an equal length, 3nd rather 

 a hole too fhort than too long. And fo much for 

 Corverts forwards* See Plate 5. Fig* 5. 



For Corvets (ideways. 



Help, as I faid, with the Bridle only, and not 

 with your Legs, and putting his Head to the Wall, 

 if you go to the right-hand, help with the outward 

 Rein, and let the Horfe go fideways, that is, the 

 half of his Shoulders before his Croup ; and let him 

 thus make three or four Corvets fideways ; then walk 

 him again fideways, and Corvet him again, and thus 

 walk him and Corvet him fideways, by degrees dimi- 

 nifliing his Walk, and augmenting his Corvets, until 

 he go all in Corvets, which he will foon do. Ufe 

 the like helps for the left as for the right.
