CHAPTEE IX. 



TO HALT IN THE GALLOP. 



In all the exercises for bringing the horse 

 into equilibrium he has been learning to 

 carry his hind-legs under him at the 

 pressure of the rider's heels, and from 

 his obedience to this indication we can 

 readily get a finished halt from the 

 gallop. 



The horse will first be accustomed to 

 come to a halt from the walk at the 

 pressure of the rider's legs, closely fol- 

 lowed by the raising of the bridle-hand.
