ORDINARY RIDING. 



The doiibler is a straight line which we take, either across 

 or clown the centre of the school, after having started from 

 some spot in the wall. Having arrived at the opposite 

 wall, we turn, and continually go on to the same hand.

The volte is a circle which we describe on some point. 

 But, at the beginning, it is best to do the volte by leaving 

 the end of one of the long sides of the school. As a horse 

 has always a tendency to enlarge the circle, he will keep 

 in bounds by the angle formed by the two walls which face 

 him. (Fig. 26).
