OF THE CURB, ETC. 



Section I. — Preliminary. 



All the preceding lessons are supposed to 

 be given with the snaffle alone. 



When the pupil has attained some profi- 

 ciency in horsemanship, and has acquired a 

 proper degree of knowledge of the aids, he 

 may be instructed to ride with the Curb in 

 addition to the Snaffle. 



The construction of the Curb, and the mode 

 of using it, have been already explained.
