beginning at/, to quit the lower circle at e, enter 

 the upper one at £>, leave it at e, and enter the 

 lower circle again at d. Thus, the position of the 

 rider and horse are alternately changed, from 

 working from the right to a straight line, thence 

 to the left, thence to a straight line, and thence 

 again to the right. To give an instance of riding 

 in a greater number of circles, of different diame- 

 ters, let the horse start from a, and 

 leave the upper circle at b, travers- 

 ing to the outer small circle at c, 

 passing round, so as to enter the in- 

 ner circle at e, and going round, by 

 /, to g ; quitting it at g, and enter- 

 ing the lower circle at h; quitting 

 the latter again, after passing round 

 *, at Jc, and thence proceeding to- 

 wards the outer small circle ; en- 

 tering at I, going round and enter- 

 ing the inner circle at e, passing round, and quit- 

 ting it at/, to return again to a, by entering the 

 upper circle at m. These exercises may be diver- 

 sified in various ways ; the pupil, for instance, may 

 perform the upper circle, and one or both of the 

 pair below, return to the upper circle, cross from 

 that, diagonally, to the lower circle, quit it, at Ji 

 or Jc, to perform one of the middle circles, return
