When you wish 10 stop your team, do it in
the manner indicated in the picture, not
pulling yonr hands up to yonr eyes in til,
Iisgiaccul fashion of some drivers Simply
shorten up the reins with II turn Of the
wrist.
No more are you to poke your nose Out
towards the horses ears and lean forward
when you drive, You are to sit up
right, III an easy, commanding position, ana
manage your horses from the shoulder and
1rist. This advice from Mr. Sidney is al
nirabe:
The rationale OF ing may he compared
IT, steering boat There must be no pulling
ami hauling first one side and then the other.
fhc slightest movement will be felt ON n
wc!l-broken, well-bitted horse, and antici.
pated just as much pressure rs is needfnl tc
keep the head straight, this pressure ON eithe,
rein is, or should be, very slight"
Our authority does not 90 in very strongly
for holding tie reins in one hand. 1t may
look very fine, but it leaves the driver at The
mercy of any sudden movement the horse
may make Especially in the beginning of a
journey a god driver always takes the
reins in both lands, and holds them thus as
long as there is the least possibility of horse
turning to the right or left And even if he
does for a little while hold them in the left
hand he always keeps his right hand where
he can grasp them instantly in case OF need.
Ii is 10 be feared that Mr. Sidney never had
any experience of Sparkling" over American
country roads.

book is devoted to driving. There is much

In driving you must hold your hands as in
the picture whether You have one horse oi
two. Gcu must appear to manage youi
strcd without the slightest effort.
For a carriage that man is to drive him
self he should be measured for the seat The
position approaching the upright one is to be
altogether avoided Nothing looks worst
than to see a driver obliged TO throw hi,
head back if he pulls up suddenly" says Mr.
Sidney, For this reason care must be taker
not to have the seat too high. The hand.
