Of Changes of the Hand., large ajid narroWj and of Voiles 



and Demi-voltes. 



Change is that Action, whereby the Horfeman guides 

 and caufes his Horfe to go from the Right-hand to 

 the Left, and from the Left to the Right, in order to 

 work him equally to both Hands ; therefore changing the 

 Hand, when you are to the Right, is making your Horfe 

 go to the Left-hand, and when on the Left, making him 

 go to the Right. The Changes are made either on one 

 hi7ie or Fath., or on two, and are either large or nar- 

 row. Changing the Hand upon one Line, is when the 

 Horfe defcribes but one Line with his Feet ; changing upon 

 two Lines, is when the Haunches follow and accompany 

 the Shoulders j and to make this Change, the Horfe's Feet 

 muft confequently defcribe two Lines, one made by his 

 Fore- feet, the other with his Hinder- feet. 



Changing large, is when the Line, if the Horfe makes 

 but one, or both Lines, when he defcribes two, crofs the Ma- 

 nage from Corner to Corner ; changing narrow, is when 

 thefe Lines pafs over but a Part of it, 



A Volte is generally defined to be whatever forms a 

 Circle. — Voltes of two Lines or Paths, defcribe two, one 

 with the Horfe's Fore, the other with his Hinder-feet.
