86 PRINCIPLES OF P. IV. 



III. and IV. In order to make the horse 

 go into the corner of the manege, you must 

 begin by opening it. 



To open a corner is to turn the shoulder 

 before you come to it, in order to make it 

 cover the ground; and then the croupe, 

 which is turned in, will not follow the line of 

 the shoulders till they are turned and brought 

 upon a straight line, in order to come out of 

 the corner. In order to turn the shoulder to 

 the corner, you must carry your hand to the 

 side to which you are to go ; and to throw in 

 the croupe, you must support it with the leg 

 on that side to which you carry your hand. 



To make the shoulders turn, and come out 

 of the corner, you must carry your hand on 

 the side opposite to that to which you turned 

 it, in order to go into the corner ; and that 

 the croupe may pass over the same ground 

 as the shoulders, you must support with the 

 leg of the same side to which you now carry 

 your hand.
