you_o have_v gain_v this_o point_n you_o must_v then_o not_o practice_v this_o lesson_n so_o frequent_o as_o before_o because_o it_o pinch_v a_o horse_n very_o much_o on_o the_o back_n as_o also_o

of_o utter_o digust_v the_o manage_v now_o all_o these_o lesson_n be_v only_o to_o supple_a a_o horse_n shoulder_n therefore_o see_v that_o you_o make_v use_v of_o no_o other_o lesson_n but_o these_o until_o you_o find_v your_o horse_n extreme_o supple_a and_o light_n and_o also_o firm_a on_o the_o hand_n for_o they_o be_v excellent_a to_o settle_v a_o horse_n upon_o the_o hand_n to_o supple_a

which_o a_o horse_n can_v have_v especial_o upon_o any_o kind_n of_o service_n use_v therefore_o always_o these_o lesson_n upon_o both_o narrow_a and_o large_a cireles_a until_o you_o find_v your_o

of_o the_o saddle_n which_o be_v the_o better_a half_n of_o your_o work_n i_o will_v now_o teach_v the_o other_o half_a which_o be_v to_o make_v he_o obey_v your_o heel_n and_o to_o work_v both_o shoulder_n and_o croup_n together_o the_o cavezon_n inward_a rein_n be_v still_o keep_v in_o your_o hand_n and_o not_o tie_v to_o the_o pommel_n to_o work_v therefore_o a_o horse_n croup_n and_o

a_o great_a quantity_n and_o rather_o give_v he_o less_o as_o he_o desit_v then_o more_o also_o that_o he_o may_v be_v bring_v the_o soon_o to_o take_v it_o mix_v the_o meat_n he_o love_v worst_a

observation_n from_o the_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o his_o body_n both_o laward_n and_o outward_a our_o keeper_n must_v observe_v that_o the_o strong_a state_n of_o body_n which_o be_v general_o

performance_n of_o great_a match_n yet_o herein_o he_o must_v also_o consider_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o the_o shape_n of_o the_o horse_n body_n the_o second_o his_o inclination_n and_o manner_n of_o feed_v for_o the_o shape_n of_o the_o horse_n body_n there_o be_v some_o who_o be_v of_o a_o round_a plump_a and_o close_o knit_v shape_n so_o that_o they_o will_v appear_v fat_a and_o well_o

and_o full_a of_o gross_a humour_n so_o likewise_o for_o their_o inclination_n some_o horse_n in_o feed_v will_v grow_v plump_a and_o lusty_a outward_o and_o carry_v as_o we_o say_v a_o thick_a rib_n when_o they_o be_v inward_o lean_a as_o may_v be_v and_o other_o will_v appear_v outward_o lean_a to_o the_o eye_n when_o they_o be_v inward_o full_a of_o grease_n now_o in_o this_o case_n our_o

feel_v general_o soft_a and_o loose_a and_o the_o finger_n sink_v into_o it_o as_o into_o down_o then_o be_v he_o without_o all_o question_n foul_a but_o if_o he_o be_v universal_o hard_a and_o firm_a and_o only_o upon_o the_o bindermost_a rib_n be_v softness_n than_o he_o have_v grease_n and_o foul_a matter_n within_o he_o which_o he_o must_v be_v make_v ride_v of_o how_o lean_a and_o poor_a so_o ever_o he_o seem_v in_o outward_a appearance_n as_o for_o the_o inward_a help_n it_o be_v only_o sharp_a exercise_n and_o good_a and_o beneficial_a seouring_n for_o the_o first_o you_o be_v sure_o
