No horse, which cannot be ridden or driven without
the aid Of running martngae, is fit 10 be ridden or
driven at all, as matter OF pleasure or safety.
No map, boy, or woman, who has learned TO ride by
aid of martinaale and snsie, ever, by any pos.

The first thing, therefore, that rider must learn, s
to cit horse perfectly, without the aid of either STIR
iup or rein; to be able TO move arms, legs hands,
head trunk ard thighs, all separately, aud without
moving the other parts, or affecting their position.
