72 ANEW SYSTEM 



comparing the Adtion of the Hand and Legs together ; by 

 which both thefe Parts being made to ad together, and in 

 time, will create and call out, as it were, thofe Cadences 

 and Equalities of Time, of which the fineft Airs are com- 

 pos'd ; Meafures and Cadences which it is not poffible to 

 defcribe, but which every Horfeman ought to comprehend, 

 attend to, and feel. If I want to make my Horfe go for- 

 ward, I yield my Hand to him, and at the fame time clofe 

 my Legs ; the Hand ceafing to confine, and the Legs driv- 

 ing on his hinder Parts, the Horfe obeys. I have a mind to 

 flop him, I hold him in, and approach my Legs to his Sides 

 gently, in order to proportion my Aids to what I afk him 

 to do ; for I would not have it felt more than jufl to make 

 .him flop upon his Haunches, 



1 WANT to turn him to the Left, I carry my Hand to the 

 Left, and fupport him at the fame time ; that is to fay, I 

 approach my Left-leg, my Hand then guides the Horfe to 

 ithe Left, and my Leg, which operates at the fame time, helps 

 him to turn ; becaufe by driving his Croupe to the Right, 

 his Shoulder is enabled to turn with more Eafe, I want to 

 go to the Right, I carry my Hand to the Right, and I fup- 

 port him with my Right-hand, my Leg determining his 

 Croupe to the Left, facilitates the Adion of the Shoulder 

 ,which my Hand had turned to the Right. 



I WOULD make a Change to the Right, my Left-rein di- 

 ■reds the Horfe, and my Left-leg at the fame time confines 

 Jiis Croupe, fo that it can't efcape, but muft follow the 



Shoulders.
