The Aids that are to be given in Pefades are derived from 

 thofe ufed to make a Horfe go backward. — Place your Hand- 

 as if you intended to make your Horfe go backward, but 

 clofe your Legs at the fame time, and he will rife. — For this 

 reafon nothing is more abfurd than the Method which fome 

 Horfemen teach their Scholars, who oblige them, in order 

 to make their Horfes rife, to ufe only their Switch ; they 

 muft certainly not know that the Hand confining the Fore- 

 part, and the Rider's Legs driving the Hinder-parts forward, 

 the Horfe is compell'd, whether he will or no, to raife 

 his Shoulders from the Ground, and to throw all the Weight 

 of his Body upon his Haunches,
