the_o most_o certain_a of_o any_o you_o can_v make_v trial_n of_o either_o for_o go_v upon_o corvet_n straight_a foreward_n sidewayes_o backward_o or_o upon_o the_o volt_n of_o all_o which_o i_o

must_v be_v the_o first_o lesson_n before_o ever_o you_o offer_v to_o put_v he_o upon_o any_o air_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o graceful_a in_o all_o air_n then_o to_o see_v a_o horse_n bend_v his_o fore_a leg_n well_o up_o to_o his_o body_n but_o there_o be_v also_o more_o in_o it_o then_o that_o because_o whatever_o horse_n go_v in_o air_n if_o his_o fore_a leg_n be_v stiff_o before_o or_o that_o he_o paw_n with_o his_o fore_a foot_n he_o be_v necessary_o upon_o his_o shoulder_n for_o that_o stiffness_n of_o his_o fore_a leg_n and_o paw_v put_v he_o upon_o they_o whereas_o if_o he_o do_v bend_v his_o fore_a leg_n up_o to_o his_o body_n it_o will_v put_v he_o upon_o the_o haunehe_n because_o it_o pull_v he_o backward_o as_o be_v stiff_o before_o put_v he_o forward_o and_o consequent_o upon_o the_o shoulder_n but_o if_o you_o find_v your_o horse_n very_o much_o oppose_v you_o when_o you_o first_o attempt_n to_o make_v he_o rise_v before_o then_o put_v he_o as_o i_o

rise_v in_o pesate_n and_o to_o stay_v upon_o the_o hand_n use_v always_o the_o cavezon_n at_o first_o then_o to_o make_v he_o go_v in_o corvet_n straight_o foreward_n or_o along_o a_o wall_n you_o

indeed_o wish_v that_o a_o horse_n which_o be_v design_v for_o a_o leper_n have_v one_o that_o be_v a_o good_a apuy_n which_o be_v neither_o too_o hard_a not_o too_o delicate_a but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o can_v endure_v a_o good_a pressure_n upon_o the_o barrs_n and_o so_o to_o suffer_v the_o curb_n which_o be_v what_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o a_o good_a mouth_n yet_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o there_o have_v be_v many_o rate_n leap_v horse_n which_o have_v not_o at_o all_o go_v upon_o the_o curb_n but_o upon_o the_o barrs_n for_o which_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v commend_v but_o it_o be_v better_a for_o to_o have_v they_o leap_v so_o be_v so_o rare_a horse_n than_o not_o to_o suffer_v they_o to_o leap_v at_o all_o because_o they_o go_v not_o upon_o the_o curb_n but_o for_o the_o three_o property_n of_o a_o leap_a horse_n which_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v very_o strong_a be_v i_o think_v a_o very_a great_a error_n because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o strong_a horse_n which_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o delight_n of_o the_o manage_v especial_o to_o be_v leap_v horse_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v when_o horse_n be_v very_o strong_a they_o must_v be_v gallop_v a_o long_a time_n before_o you_o can_v abaite_v the_o strength_n of_o their_o chine_n and_o all_o that_o while_o they_o will_v do_v nothing_o but_o yerk_v and_o give_v such_o disorder_a countertime_n and_o false_a leap_n that_o the_o best_a horseman_n in_o the_o world_n shall_v never_o make_v good_a leper_n of_o they_o so_o you_o see_v they_o be_v not_o the_o strong_a but_o best_o dispose_v horse_n which_o be_v the_o fit_a to_o be_v make_v leper_n i_o shall_v yet_o further_o confirm_v this_o truth_n by_o a_o comparison_n take_v from_o man_n for_o take_v one_o of_o the_o strong_a fellow_n you_o can_v get_v and_o i_o shall_v bring_v a_o little_a man_n that_o shall_v outleap_v he_o several_a foot_n yet_o that_o strong_a fellow_n will_v crush_v the_o little_a one_o to_o death_n in_o his_o arm_n so_o you_o see_v it_o be_v not_o strength_n but_o disposition_n that_o fit_v horse_n as_o well_o as_o man_n for_o leap_v it_o be_v true_a that_o sometime_o a_o great_a and_o strong_a fellow_n will_v outleap_v a_o little_a man_n but_o that_o be_v rare_a because_o the_o spirit_n of_o such_o big_a man_n be_v more_o dilate_v and_o diffuse_v than_o in_o little_a man_n the_o like_a be_v i_o assure_v you_o in_o horse_n as_o well_o as_o among_o man_n for_o there_o may_v be_v a_o strong_a horse_n dispose_v for_o leap_v and_o that_o horse_n will_v no_o doubt_n be_v a_o excellent_a leper_n but_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o be_v weak_a horse_n which_o be_v most_o dispose_v for_o leap_v sometime_o also_o horse_n which_o be_v very_o weak_a find_v themselves_o so_o pinch_v upon_o the_o haunch_n with_o corvet_n that_o they_o find_v ease_n in_o leap_v thus_o you_o see_v then_o that_o horse_n be_v general_o more_o dispose_v by_o nature_n than_o be_v for_o leap_v which_o be_v when_o they_o be_v full_a of_o spirit_n and_o light_n so_o that_o horseman_n have_v nothing_o almost_o to_o do_v in_o make_v leap_a horse_n but_o only_o to_o give_v they_o the_o time_n which_o be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o art_n which_o be_v to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o in_o make_v of_o they_o and_o he_o who_o think_v to_o show_v more_o of_o his_o art_n in_o dress_v a_o horse_n for_o leap_n in_o stead_n of_o show_v his_o skill_n discover_v only_o more_o of_o his_o own_o ignorance_n and_o folly_n therefore_o the_o short_a and_o only_o true_a way_n to_o dress_v all_o leap_a horse_n be_v this_o which_o follow_v first_o then_o for_o capriol_n walk_v your_o horse_n forward_o and_o then_o cause_v he_o make_v one_o leap_n present_o after_o raise_v he_o high_a upon_o a_o pesate_n or_o two_o and_o stay_v and_o keep_v he_o upon_o the_o hand_n and_o thus_o augment_v your_o leap_n and_o diminish_v your_o pesate_n he_o will_v by_o little_a and_o little_o leap_v perfect_o and_o after_o he_o be_v perfect_a upon_o a_o straight_a line_n foreward_n than_o you_o may_v put_v he_o upon_o volt_n or_o circle_n and_o continue_v the_o same_o method_n but_o the_o circle_n must_v be_v a_o little_a large_a at_o

will_v be_v to_o late_o to_o do_v it_o when_o he_o rise_v behind_o and_o strike_v out_o i_o must_v also_o tell_v you_o that_o your_o thigh_n and_o knee_n must_v be_v as_o close_o as_o if_o they_o be_v
