CHAPTER IX. 



TO HALT IN THE GALLOP. 



In all the exercises for bringing the 

 horse into equilibrium he has been learn- 

 ing 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 press- 

 ure of the rider's legs, closely followed 

 by the raising of the bridle-hand. In the 

 same way he will be- brought to a halt from 



the trot.
