e time occupied in each lesson
should be in proportion to the pace and animation in which it has been
performed. If the exercise be varied and highly animated, the horse
should rest to recruit himself at the expiration of twelve or fifteen
minutes; when refreshed, by halting, he may be made to go through
another of the same, or rather less duration, and then be put up for
the day. It would be still better to make two halts in the same space of
time;--the exercise taken in such a lesson being equal to three hours'
moderate work. When the lessons are less animated, they may be made
proportionally longer; but, it is always better, if the pupil err in
this respect, to do so on the side of brevity, than, by making her
lessons too long, to harass her horse.
