upon the Volts, which is the perfe&ion of Corvets 

 upon them. You muft always in Corvets upon Volts 

 help with the outward Rein, but give him no help 

 with your Legs at all. 



To change upon Corvets do thus \ if your Horfe be 

 going to the right-hand, and you would change him, 

 then put your inward or right Leg gently to him, and 

 hold him a little up with your Bridle-hand on the 

 infide of his Neck, your Knuckles always down, up- 

 on which Hand foever you go •, and as foon as he 

 hath changed, take your right Leg from him, and 

 help no more with your Legs at all, only the poife 

 of your Body, upon changing, is to be a little upon 

 the out fide : The fame very Helps are to be made ufe 

 of when you change from the left, viz. Left Leg and 

 outward Rein. Now the reafon why upon changing 

 I begin firft with the Leg and not with the Bridle- 

 hand, is this ; If I fhould begin with the Hand, he 

 would ftop y and if I turned my Hand to the infide t 

 his Croup would go too much out and be loft, be- 

 caufe I fliould have no feeling of it, and therefore 

 I begin with the Leg, but inftantly hold him up 

 with my Hand, fo that the two Helps are done fo 

 quickly after each other that none can perceive it : 

 But if his Shoulders do not come in enough, then 

 turn well your Hand to the infide, and help with the 

 outward Rein. 



For the Crofs and Saraban upon Corvets. 



Help with the outward Rein, which is to be pulled 

 firft upon the one fide and then upon the other, 

 after every Corvet from fide to fide, helping, as I 

 faid, with your Bridle-hand only, and your outward 

 Shoulder always following it, without any help from 

 your Legs at all.
