Plate 42.

The movement is properly executed when the horse is straight from poll to croup, but is set at an oblique to the direction in ^OllO'*—16 ^0

which he is moving. The front and hind feet travel on two parallel tracks, the left fore and left hind stepping in front and across the right fore and right hind. The displacement of the haunches is very slight at first, and at no stage shonld reach more than 45^ (PI. 42.)

Haunches left may be executed when marching to the same hand. In this case the rider passes through the second corner and turns onto the diagonal of half the school. The movement is begun and similarly executed just as the haunches ^re about to leave the track. The haunches travel along the track while the forehand moves on a line parallel to and inside of it. (PI. 42.) When the displacement exceeds 45**, the forward tendency is destroyed and the movements become cramped, while the excessive crossing of the feet may be the direct cause of leg injuries that will develop harmful resistance.

Application of the aids. —On passing through the corner the rider executes a half halt as the forehand reaches the track of the long side, and then begins the movement. The horse is uniformly bent from poll to croup around the right leg applied at the girth. The forehand strides straight to the front on the track, while the haunches are displaced to the Inside, the left hind stepping across and in front of the right hind. (PI. 44.) The right rein is shortened and maintains the necessary set of the head and leads the horse In the direction of march. Tlie right log in combination with the right rein produces and maintains tho proper bend. The left rein regulates the bend, fixes the neck at the shoulders, keeps the left shoulder from falling out, and supports the action of the outer leg. The left leg
