 reached, the tension of the curb-reins will 

 for a moment cease, and the horse will be 

 turned in the new direction by the snaffle- 

 bit held in the right hand ; but before the 

 change is completed, the snaffle-reins will 

 be eased, and the outside curb-rein will be 

 carried against the neck of the horse," to 

 teach him to bend at the application of 

 the curb. 



At each corner of the riding-school 

 these applications of the aids will be prac- 

 ticed, and upon the straight lines the curb- 

 bit will call upon the horse to yield his jaw 

 and head, the tension upon that bit ceas- 

 ing the moment the horse obeys the de- 

 mand.
