OF TERRA A TERRA.

IN Terra a Terra you must use the inward Reyn, and the outward Legg; the inward Reyn pull'd to your outward Shoulder, presses him on the out-side on his outward Hanch, makes him lean on the out-side, and look into the Turn; presses him on the out-side, and at liberty within the Turn; his Fore-Legg within the Turn lead∣ing, and his Hinder-Legg on the same side fol∣lowing, and his outward Legg short.

Thus his inward Shoulder is put Forward, and his outward Shoulder kept Back with your Hand: You must Soutenir as you do in Ayres: But this is with the inward Reyn, and your Bridle-Hand within the Pommel, looking into the Turn, poising upon your outward Stirrup a little, your outward Shoulder down, and in, which sub∣jects his Croup: Thus you cannot put in his Croup too much; for leaning on the outside, his Croup can never go before his Shoulder; and thus he is for∣ced to Terra a Terra in spight of his Teeth, and to go a time Pa Ta, Pa Ta, which is but two times; And this was never found out but by My Self.

But I must Remember you of one thing; which is, that if you tie the inward Cavezone's Reyn to the Pommel, it works his Croup, and puts him on the outward Hanch, and makes him Obey the Heel, but is not so powerful as the inward Reyn to your outward Shoulder, because the Line to the Pommel is the Shorter, and therefore not so Powerful; but if he presses too much, so that you cannot hold him, then Tye it to the Pommel, and that will hold him sufficiently.
