CHAPTER XIV. 



TRAVERSING AT THE GALLOP. 



Although the passage is the action in 

 which traversing may best be performed, 

 horses are brought to traverse at the gal- 

 lop, both as a school movement and to 

 prepare them for voltes and pirouettes. 



Of course, the general principles for 

 traversing are the same in all actions, and 

 it is only necessary in the gallop to take 

 the greatest precautions for preserving the 

 balance of the horse in moving to either 

 side, for his weight is not then so evenly 



supported as in the passage.
