the left to the right, you quit the line at the 

 point D, — Figure 3, work on a Demi- Volt to 

 the point E, change and work to the right. 



The changes on the Volt are confined to 

 particular airs. When the Volt is complete, 

 make a half stop, change the leg, and work 

 the Volt round to the contrary hand, on the 

 same ground as before. 



The change reverse is worked on traversing 

 lines, and confined to the same airs as the 

 Volt. It is done by reversing your hands, 

 position, &c. and consequently the horse's 

 position and foot at every angle. — Figure 4. 



Section V. — Of the Stop in the Walk. 



The Stop in horsemanship is an instanta- 

 neous prevention of action at the height of 

 animation, without the least previous notice 

 or indication by which the horse could be 

 aware of your intent : otherwise the effect 

 and intention would be lost.
