OF HORSEMANSHIP. 107 



Courage to refift their Riders. — Take care, however, to 

 proportion this Leffon to the Nature, the Strength, and 

 Inclination of the Animal ; and remember, that a violent 

 and precipitate Gallop would hurt an impatient and hot 

 Horfe, as much as it would be proper and ufeful to one 

 who retains himfelf, and is jadifh and lazy. 



CHAP. XV. 



Of Parades. 



THE Paflades are the trueft Proofs a Horfe can give of 

 his Goodnefs. — By his going off you judge of his 

 Swiftnefs ; by his Stop, you difcover the Goodnefs or Imper- 

 fedion of his Mouth ; and by the Readinefs with which he 

 turns, you are enabled to decide upon his Addrefs and Grace ; 

 in fhort, by making him go off a fecond time you difcover his 

 Temper and Vigour. — When your Horfe is light and adlive 

 before, is firm upon his Haunches, and has them fupple and 

 free, fo as to be able to accompany the Shoulders, Is obedient 

 and ready to both Hands, and to the Stop, he is then fit 

 to be work'd upon Paflades.
