THE HORSEMAN. 141 



or, when the attacking party has gained the left rear, 

 suddenly check the horse that he may pass, and then pur- 

 sue him. 



If there is any circumstance which would prevent him 

 doing either, he should, after receiving his antagonist on 

 the left side, turn his horse to the " left about" on his fore 

 legs, giving the left spur vigorously (to make him pass 

 his croup around) and at the same time protect his head 

 by extending the guard. 



In these lessons the parties should attack and defend 

 alternately.
