Lastly, there is another fort of Paflage to which the Trot 

 likewife gives birth, and in which the Adlion is fo quick, fo 

 diHgent, and fo fupported, that the Horfe feems not to ad- 

 vance, but to work upon the fame Spot of Ground. The 

 Spa?iiards call the Horles who make this fort of Paffage Pif- 

 fadores. This fort of Horfes have not their Adlion fo high 

 and ftrong as the other, it being too quick and fudden ; 

 but almoft all Horfes which are inclin'd to this fort of Paf- 

 lage, are generally endowed with a great Share of Gentle- 

 nefs and Adivity. 



No Horfe fliould be put to the Paffage till he has been 

 well trotted out, is fupple, and has acquir'd fome Knowledge 

 of the Union. — If he has not been well trotted, and by that 

 means taught to go forward readily, his Adlion, when put to 

 the Paffage, being fhorten'd and retain'd, you would run the 

 rifque of his becoming refthe and ranwtgue ; and was he 

 utterly unacquainted with the Union, the Paffage requiring 

 that he fhould be very much together, he would not be able 

 to bear it ; fo that finding himfelf prefs'd and forced on one 

 hand, and being incapable of obeying on the other, he wouldi 

 refift and defend himfelf. 



There are fome People, who oblerving a Horfe to have 

 Strength and Agility, and naturally difpofed to unite himfelf, 

 endeavour to get from him fome 'Times of the Paffage. — 

 They fncceed in their Attempt, and immediately conclude 

 that they can paffage their Horfe whenever they will, and 

 fo prefs him to it, before he has been fufficiently fuppled and 

 taught to go forward readily, and without retaining himfelf.
