OF HORSE M A N S U I P. Si) 



are apt to keep their Hinder-feet in one Place, and make at the 

 fame time one or two Steps with their Fore-feet, and hy this 

 means fihify and avoid filHng up the Circle in the Proportion 

 they begun it. The fame Fault is to be found with Horfes 

 who hang back at the End of a Change, and throwing out 

 their Croupe, arrive at the Wall with their Shoulders, and 

 •confequently fail to clofc their Change juftly. 



Further, in working upon this Leflbn, it is indifpenfably 

 neceffary that at every Step the Horfe takes, he fhould make 

 his outward Leg crofs and come over the inner, becaufe this 

 will prevent a Horfe that is too quick of Feeling, or one, that 

 is rammgue^ from becoming e?itier^ or to bend himfelf, or lean 

 in his Voltes, Vices that are occaiion'd from having the 

 Haunches or Hinder-legs too much conftrain'd. There are 

 Horfes likewife who have their Croupe fo light and uncertain, 

 that from the Moment they have begun the Volte, they lean 

 and widen their Hinder-legs, and throw them out of the 

 Volte. 



To remedy this, aid with the outv/ard Leg, carrying your 

 Bridle-hand to the fame Side, and not /;?, becaufe it is by 

 the Means of the outward Leg and inner Rein, that you will 

 be enabled to adjiift and bring in the Croupe upon the Line 

 which it ought to keep. 



If it happens that the Horfe don't keep up to the Line of his 

 Volte, or throws his Croupe out, prefs him forward, letting him 

 go ftrait on two or three Steps, keeping him firm iii theHand, 

 and in a flow and juft Time, and ufe the Aids which I have.-
