HOW THE HOKSE IS TAUGHT 

 OBEDIENCE. 



This Chapter contains the theory and rational 

 explanation of the mode of procedure which must 

 be adhered to in teaching the horse obedience, 

 which must be taught on foot. The practical me- 

 thod of teaching obedience on foot is by means of 

 the lounge which mode of instruction if practised 

 properly improves also the working of the horse' s 

 mechanism. Teaching the horse to obey the rider is 

 effected by the rider on horseback by teaching him 

 to obey the aids of the hands, the aids of legs 

 and spurs and the aids of the Aveight of the rider's 

 body. This is explained in The functions of the 

 minds in Biding (Edinburgh, 1888, TiirnMll and 

 Spears.
