CHAP. II. 



OF THE AIDS OF THE BODY. 



II. To cause the horse to advance, while 

 the hand is relaxed, throw the body a little 

 forward, but do not press the horse's fore 

 parts with your weight ; and at the same time 

 approach your legs to his sides. 



If your horse rise up, bend your body more 

 stronger forward. 



If he kick, leap, or jerk out behind, throw 

 your body back also. 



If he gallop when he should not, oppose all 

 his motions ; and, for this purpose, push your 

 waist forward towards the pummel of the 

 saddle, making a bend or hollow at the same 

 time in your loins.
