the whip taps should cease and the animal be rewarded. It should then be made to take another step with the hind-legs to the right, the trainer's left hand keeping the forehand in place. This movement of the croup and this holding of the forehand will bring the horse so that the right forefoot will be slightly in rear of the place it should occupy with regard to the new position of the body of the horse. The trainer should therefore give a light touch of the whip upon the under side of the right fore-arm, and at the same time give a light play of the bit upon the right side, to induce the horse to move the riorht fore-foot to a line even with the left fore-foot, the latter not being advanced beyond its original place. As the croup goes about to the right, the right fore-leg will in this manner be made to conform to the movement, but the left fore-foot kept flat upon the ground will be a rotating pivot about which the body revolves. Step by step the the croup will be carried about the forehand, a halt being demanded between each step, so that the horse will learn that it must not volunteer a movement, the left fore-foot being kept upon the ground, the right fore-foot moving enough only to keep its proper place at each change of position of the body of the horse. This movement is the revei^sedpzj'oti-ette, and we shall shortly see its importance.
