OF HORSEMANSHIP. 73 



Shoulders. — I would change Hands again to the Left, my 

 Right-rein then guides the Horfe, and my Right-leg does 

 juft the fame as my Left-leg did in going to the Right. — I 

 undertake to work the Shoulder and Croupe at the fame 

 time ; for thisPurpofe I carry my Hand out. — The inner Rein 

 a6ls, and the outward Leg of the Horfe is prefs'd, either by 

 this Rein, or by my outward Leg, fo that the outward Rein 

 operates upon the Shoulder, and the inner Rein with my out- 

 ward Leg direds the Croupe. — I put my Horfe to Curvets. 

 — I aid him with my outward Rein, and if he is not enough 

 upon his Haunches, my Legs, accompanied with the inner 

 Rein, aid me to put him more upon them ; if he turns his 

 Croupe out, I aid and fupport him with my outward Leg ; 

 if he flings it in too much, I confine him with my inner 

 Leg. 



I PUT him to make Curvets fide ways, my outward Rein 

 brings his outward Shoulder in, becaufe the outward Shoul- 

 der being brought in, his Croupe is left at liberty ; but if 

 I have occafion I ufe my inner Rein, and if his Croupe is 

 not fufficiently confin'd, I fupport it with my outward Leg. 

 — Again, I put him to make Curvets backwards, I ufe then 

 my outward Rein, and keep my Hand near my Body. At 

 each Cadence that the Horfe makes, I make him feel a T'ifjte ; 

 one, and every time he comes to the Ground, I receive and 

 catch him as it were in my Hand ; but thefe "Times ought 

 not to be diftant above an Inch or two at the moft ; I then 

 eafe my Legs to him, which never thelcfs I approach infen- 

 fibly every time he rifes. Thus by making my Hands and
