Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

The Perfection of the trot consists in its suppleness, giving the horse a free use of his limbs; in its union, distributing his labor more equally, the horse's fore legs having more to sustain than the hind, especially when he is disunited, or on the shoulders; and in its action, which should be true and equal, the liberty of the fore quarters not exceeding the hind, not the hind the fore--the knee being up, the haunches bent, springy and pliant, the step measuring exact distances, and marking a regular time. In the trot, there is a Leading Foot, either right or left, by which the corresponding side is a little more advanced than the other. This leading with either foot is valuable, as, in horses that have not been thus suppled, if chance or fatigue make them change their leg...
