The Property of the Gallop is, as may be gathered from 

 all that has been faid of it, to give the Horfe a good 

 Apuy. 



In reality, in this Adlion he lifts at every time both 

 his Shoulders and Legs together, in fuch a manner, that 

 in making this Motion his Fore-part is without Support, 

 till his Fore-feet come to the Ground ; fo that the Rider, 

 by fupporting or bearing him gently in Hand, as he comes 

 down, can confequently give an Apuy to a Mouth that 



has none. You muft take care, that by retaining 



your Horfe too much in his Gallop, you don't make him 

 become ramifigue^ and weaken the Mouth that is light 

 and unfteady ; as the full or extended Gallop is capable on 

 the other Hand, to harden an Apuy which was ftrong and 

 full in the Hand before. 



The Gallop does not only afTure and make ftcady a 

 weak and delicate Mouth, but it alfo fupples a Horfe, and 

 makes him ready and adlive in his Limbs. — It fixes the 

 Memory and Attention of Horfes likewife, who from too 

 much Heat and Impetuofity in their Temper, never attend 

 to the Aids of the Rider, nor the Times of their fetting 

 off ; it teaches thofe who retain themfelves, to go forward, 

 and to fet off ready and with Spirit ; and laftly, it takes 

 off all the fuperfluous Vigour of fuch Horfes as, from 

 too much Gaiety, avail themfelves of their Strength and 



Courage
