CHAP. I. 

 OF THE MANEGE SEAT. 



Section I. — Preliminary . 



The Seat is the Disposition of the several 

 parts of the horseman's body, agreeably to 

 the manner in which the horse works. 



The immediate result of this is the keep- 

 ing firm in the saddle at such times as the 

 body is liable to be thrown on the horse's 

 neck, if not over his head, or to tumble back- 

 ward over the horse's tail.
