the hind quarters Of their horses, without

the horse in front. They mount the ami

with "ne hand the upper and lower parts
Of the tail, then putting one foot in the
loop and the other on the Joint of the
horses leg, they ascent as if gong up

horse before sitting down. The horses
never kick nor stir.
