Excerpt from Hints on Horsemanship, to a Nephew and Niece: Or Common Sense and Common Errors in Common RidingWhen you wish to turn to the right, pull the right rein stronger than the left this is common sense. The common error is precisely the reverse: the common error is, when you wish to turn to the right, to pass the hand to the right. By this, the right rein is slackened, and the left rein is tight ened, across the horse's neck; and the horse is required to turn to the right, when the left rein is pulled. It is to correct this common error, this monstrous and perpetual source of bad riding, and bad usage to good animals, that these pages are written.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
