EQUITATION AND HORSE TRAINING. 73 



Jumping mounted. — ^After horses have been trained in 

 jumping at liberty and on the longe, they are made to 

 jump mounted. 



At first they must be in the snaffle bridle. Always be- 

 gin with insignificant obstacles. In the riding hall, place 

 the bar on the ground and afterwards raise it gradually 

 according to the confidence shown by men and horses. 

 Out of doors, start with very easy jumps and work up 

 gradually to the class of obstacles that every service 

 mount should clear.
