CHANGES IN THE GALLOP. 57 



After the horse will make the 

 changes neatly in turning from one 

 circle to another, he will be made to 

 change his lead in the direct line at 

 any step without halting. But the 

 horse must not be put forward until 

 he perfectly performs each successive 

 step in the lesson, and he must be 

 brought back to the Jirst principles of 

 the movement whenever he becomes 

 careless or awkward. 



In demanding a lead of either side, 

 or a change in the lead, the horse 

 will be bent no further than is abso- 

 lutely necessary to obtain the move- 

 ment, and in making the circles the 

 body of the horse should conform to 

 their circumferences.
