OF THE PASSAGE. 



Section I. — Of the Passage in General. 



When the pupil has arrived at some degree 

 of dexterity in the use of the Aids necessary 

 in Shoulder-in, he should be taught the Pas- 

 sage. 



The Passage is the key which opens all the 

 justness of the art of riding, and is the only 

 means of regulating horses in all sorts of airs ; 

 because, in this action, we may work them 

 slowly, and teach them all the knowledge of 

 the leg and hand, as it were insensibly, and 

 without running any risk of disgusting them, 

 or making them rebel.
