in order to work equally with both Reins, and by this 

 means to aid your Horfe more effedually to go backward 

 ftrait and ballanced between your Legs, which he could 

 never do, if one Rein was to operate ftronger than the 

 other. 



There are particular Cafes, where the Reins are fepa- 

 rated, and one held in each Hand ; it is ufual to feparate 

 them v/hen you trot a young Horfe, or when you are to 

 work one who is difobedient, and reflfts his Rider ; upon 

 thefe occalions, keep both your Hands upon a Level, low 

 and near your Body : To turn to the right, ufe your right 

 Rein ; to go to the left, ufe your left Rein ; but in order 

 to make them have their EfFe<9:, move your Arm gently, 

 turning it a little from your Body, keeping your Hand 

 always low and even near your Boot. 



Such are the Principles upon which the Perfedlion and 

 Juftnefs of the Aids of the Hand depend, all others are 

 falfe, and not to be regarded ; Experience has fo much 

 the more evinced the Truth of this, as the new Difcoveries 

 which fome People imagine they have lately made, have 

 produced nothing but Hands, cold and unadive, without 

 Firmnefs, whofe irregular and capricious Motions ferve only 

 to render a Horfe's Mouth uncertain and fickle, and who, 

 by their manner of holding them high, have ruined abfo- 

 lutely the Hocks of all the Horfes, that they have worked 

 according to thefe abfurd Notions.
