ow then walk about it on the right seven
or eight times, then by a little straightning your right Rein, and
laying your left Leg Calf to his side, make a half Circle within the
Ring upon your right down to its Center; then by straightning a little
your left Rein, and laying your right Leg Calf to his side, make a half
Circle to your left hand, from the Center to the outmost Verge, and
these you see contrary turned make a Roman S. Now to your first large
Compass, walk him about on your left hand, as oft as before on the
right, and change to your right within your Ring; then Trot him first on
the right-hand, then on the left, as long as you judge fit, and as often
Mornings, and Evenings as the Nature of your Horse shall require. In the
same manner you may make him to _Gallop_ the same Rings, though you must
not enter it all at once, but by degrees, first a Quarter, then a
Half-quarter; and the Lightness and Cheerfulness of your Body, not the
Spur, must induce him to it.

The next Lesson is to _Stop Fair, Comely, and without Danger_. First see
that the Ground be hard and firm, then having cherisht your Horse, bring
him to a swift Trot, about Fifty Paces, and then straightly and suddenly
draw in your Bridle hand; then ease a little your hand to make him give
backward, and in so doing, give him liberty, and cherish him; then
drawing in your Bridle hand, make him retire, and go back; if he strike,
ease your hand; if he refuse, let some by-stander put him back, that he
may learn your intention; and thus he may Learn these Two Lessons at
once.

_To Advance before_, when he stoppeth, is thus taught: When you stop
your Horse, without easing your hand, lay close and hard to his sides
both the Calves of your Legs, and shaking your Rod cry, _Up, Up_; which
he will understand by frequent Repetition, and Practice: This is a
Gracefull, and Comely Motion, makes a Horse Agile, and Nimble, and ready
to Turn; and therefore be carefull in it: That he take up his Legs
_Even_ together, and bending to his Body; not too high, for fear of his
coming over; not sprawling, or pawing; or for his own pleasure; in these
faults correct him with Spur and Rod.

To _Yerk out behind_ is the next Lesson, thus learnt: Presently upon
your making him stop, give him a good brisk jerk near his Flank, which
will make him soon understand you. When he does it, cherish him; and see
he does it comely, for to yerk out his hinder Legs, till his Forelegs be
above gro
