C H A P. IX, 



Of Aids a7id CorreEiions. 



AN Aid may be termed whatever afUfts or diredls a 

 Florfe, and whatever enables him to execute what we 

 put him to do. — Corredlions are whatever Methods we ufe 

 to awe and punifh him, v/henever he difobeys : Aids there- 

 fore are to prevent, and Corredions to punifh, whatever 

 JFault he may commit. 



The Aids are various, and are to be given in different 

 Manners, upon different Occafions, they are only meant to 

 acccompany the Eafe and Smoothnefs of the Horfe in his 

 Air, and to form and maintain the Juftnefs of it ; for this 

 Reafon they ought to be delicate, fine, fmooth, and ffeady, 

 and proportioned to the Senfibility or Feeling of the Horfe ; 

 for if they are harfh and rude, very far from Aiding, they 

 would throw the Horfe into Diforder, or elfe occafion 

 his Manage to be falfe, his Time broken, conftrained, and 

 difagreeable. 



Corrections are of two Sorts ; you may punifli your 

 Horfe with the Spurs, the Switch, or Chambriere ; you 

 may punilh him by keeping him in a greater Degree of 

 Subjection ; but in all thefe Cafes, a real Piorfeman will 

 endeavour rather to work upon the Underftanding of the 

 Creature, than upon the different Farts of his Body. A
