the horse to make a sudden start. Besides, when the lady uses her right arm energetically, to give a cut with the whip, the left hand will almost always move, and will consequently give a jerk to the mouth, which will make the animal assume a wrong position.

Almost all ladies bring their horse's hind quarters round to the right, because they make too much use of their powerful "aid" on the left side ; their "aid" on the right side being too weak to keep the animal straight.

To obviate these inconveniences, a lady's school horse ought to work very easily from right to left.

A lady's hack ought to be the same on both sides.
