CHAPTEE XI. 



TO BACK AT THE GALLOP. 



To back the horse in the action of the 

 gallop from the gallop in place, it is 

 required that, as the fore-hand begins 

 to sink in a cadence of the action, 

 the forces should be carried back 

 by the hand so that the fore-feet will 

 touch the ground a few inches within 

 the line they would have reached from 

 the gallop in place, and the hand then 

 giving way, the croup will be Hghtened
