We should remember that wlieii the horse is 

 heated by motion he can bear even considerable 

 pain in his mouth without making reactions because 

 being heated and roused he does not feel the pain 

 but the bars become sore and the horse cannot 

 then be used with the curb or the snaffle. The 

 same happens with the saddle and with the collar 

 which sometimes cause sores that are noticed only 

 at the end of the journey when saddle and harness 

 are removed, because the horse gave no sign of 

 feeling pain while working. With the snaffle not 

 much effect can be made but a strong effect can 

 be made with the curb. 



Another thing to be noted is the difference 

 between the action of the hand for giving leaning 

 and the action of the hand for stopping. The oppo- 

 sition of the hands made for the sake of giving 

 leaning to the horse and of keeping him in good 

 leaning ought not to be confused with the opposi- 

 tion made for the sake of stopping, in order that 

 the horse may not mistake the one for the other. 

 The opposition made to give leaning and keep the 

 horse in good leaning is elastic and continuous.
