of the horse's breast, holds both the whip and the off rein, for which the withers act as a pulley (Fig. 40). The horse will then make the direct flexion. I then try to obtain the beginning of the right lateral flexion by raising the head by means of slight upward jerks on the curb, and by pressing the head to the right, while at the same time I make the croup give way by working the whip from left to right.

Finally, I increase these effects, until the yielding of the neck, jaw and croup is complete.

I thus succeed in making the horse pivot, while I do the complete lateral flexion.

I purposely use the word " pivot," which expresses my idea in an incomplete manner, but which accurately describes Baucher's method of doing this rotation. In fact, during the rotation of the croup, according to his plan, the forehand
