TO BACK AT THE GALLOP. 



157 



I believe that no other writer has given 

 a description of the action of the horse in 

 the movement, and I know that the im- 

 pression derived from the methods by 

 which it is proposed to produce it Is of an 

 action very different from that I have de- 

 scribed. I can only say that I have ex- 

 plained the movement as I have seen it 

 performed by the horse, and I know of no 

 other way in which the horse can move 

 with lightness to the rear in any action 

 that resembles the gallop.
