OF HORSEMANSHIP. -t 



o 



a Situation to rife again, you will punifli him, and drive him 

 forward at the fame time. 



This Defence is ftill more dangerous in Horfes who are 

 of a fiery Temper, and weak in their Haunches, at the fame 

 time ; thefe are continually apt to rife, and whatever Pre- 

 cautions theRider may take, he is in continual Danger of their 

 coming over. The way to correal them is this : Tie your 

 Horfe between the Pillars very fliort, put on a good Cavafon 

 of Cord, and don't fuffer him to be mounted ; prick him 

 upon the Buttocks with a Hand-fpur, in order to make him 

 ftrike out ; encourage him when he kicks, and continue to 

 make him kick ; encourage him from time to time when 

 he obeys ; do this for a Quarter of an Hour every Day ; 

 when you perceive that he begins to kick the Moment voa 

 offer to prick him, without waiting till he feels it, get upon 

 him, hold your Reins long, prick him, and let a Man iland 

 by and prick him at the fame time. Encourage him when 

 he kicks, and continue to prick him to make him do it, till 

 he will kick readily only at the Offer you make of pricking 

 him ; he ought to be brought to this Point in five or fix 

 Days : After this take him out of the Pillars, mount him,, 

 and trot him in the Longe, and make him kick by pricking 

 him behind ; after that let him walk two or three Steps, then 

 make him kick again, and fo work him by degrees. Put 

 him to the Gallop ; if he offers to rife, prick him behind, 

 and make him kick : Nothing excels this Method to break 

 a Horfe of this terrible and dangerous Vice.
