he will Run the Faster to Oppose you and the more you pull the Bridle and straighten the Curb hurting him the more you Pull the more he will Pull and Run the Faster for Pulling doth no more good than if you pull'd a Wall Then if you have Field-Room when he begins to Run give him the Spurrs continually sharply and soundly and slack the Bridle and Spurr him until he begins to slack of himself and to be contented to stay and as often as he begins to Run use the same way and at last I dare undertake he will be Cured For this is the best way in the World for a Run-away Horse But if you have not Room and are Circumscrib'd in a Narrow place then let him Run Circularly until he is Weary with a slack Hand But if you have not Room the best is To put him to the Single Pillar with a good strong Rope both which will hold him and there he can Run but Circularly and Round and give him the Spurrs soundly until he be weary and contented to stay and this at last no doubt will Cure him Of a Horse that RETAINS his FORCES WHen a Horse Retains his Forces you must Gallop him fast and so Terra a Terra to put him from thinking for it is his Resty thinking that makes that Vice And let me tell you that ill Riders and Bunglers at the first makes for the most part all these Faults and Vitious Horses by ill Riding correcting them out of time or else in letting them have their wills too much Let me tell you for a great Truth that the worst natured Jade in the world by Nature is much easier Drest and reduc'd to Obedience than a Horse that hath been Spoil'd and made Resty by ill Riding so much worse is an ill Custom continued than an ill Disposition by Nature For a customary Drunkard is hardly Reclaimed which is not by Nature and if Men be so Horses may well be so too TO Assure Horses for the Warrs AS when a Horse is Skittish and apprehensive of Noise there are many Inventions and none of the Best To stop the Horse's Ears with Wool that he should not Hear that is to make him Deaf and to change the Vice for the disease of Deafness but the Vice remains still What if the Wool should fall out Then you would find he was not Cured But you may also be deceived for it may be it is another Sense that 's Sight And being afraid of Fire when the Guns are Fired Would you put Spectacles on him to make him both Deaf and Blind They are great Follies Therefore you must use him by little and little to Shott both to the Noise and Sight of the Fire to Drums Trumpets and Colours and the Custom of them will make him indure it and go constantly upon any of them Sword or any thing for Custom doth all things with Men and so with Horses You should teach him to Leap Hedge Ditch and Rail for all these are the Useful things for a Souldiers Horse as also to Swim well is very necessary OF VITIOUS HORSES WHen a Horse Bites at his Shoulders and at his Bitt and at his Riders Leggs and Rises and turns Round ready to come Over The best Remedy that I know is To Ride him without a Cavezone to Offend him as little as may be and to Tie the Nose-band as straight as you can as also to have another Nose-band below where the Bitt is tied and to tie that as straight as possibly can be so straight as he cannot open his Mouth And when the Horse finds that he cannot Bite he will Leave those Jadish Tricks in a little time And because the Spurrs given him out of time appear to be the cause of his Vitiousness and Restiness therefore do not give him the Spurrs of a great while but only Trot him upon Large Circles and Walk him Quietly and Peaceably and when you have gained him to this Point upon a peaceable and little Gallop you may then touch him with the Spurrs but very gently only to make him Feel them and no more and this way will Cure him or else nothing THE Old way for Trench and Martingal THis Way is to no purpose at all to Dress a Horse since the end of Riding is To go with the Bitt for with the Trench and Martingal you must use both Hands and you have not a third Hand for the Sword but with the Bitt your Left-Hand governs the Horse and your Right-Hand is free for the Sword But I will let you see that to use the Trench and Martingal is just so much time lost as you Ride Horses with it and no preparation at all for the Bitt For first the Trench hath no Curb therefore they will not understand the Curb by it because it hath none Then Secondly there is no Trench in the world or Snaffle that ever wrought upon the Bars of a Horse but upon his Lips and the Weeks of his Mouth So what preparation is there in the Trench for the Bitt when the Trench can neither make him understand the Curb nor the Bars And the Bitt Works only upon those two places Curb and Bars and without those two no Horse can be a Ready-Horse Nay pull down the Horses Head as much as you can with the Martingal or the Trench it shall never work upon his Bars the Snaffle is the same for the Trench is but a great Snaffle Then for the Martingal use it never so long the Horse shall not be setled one jot the better when you take it off So now you may see how unuseful a folly the Trench and Martingal is for the Dressing of Horses meerly so much time lost to no purpose and labour in vain and disordering the poor Horse so that I wonder at the Horse-men that had no more Wit than to use it It is the Bitt with the Cavezone and the true Art of Riding that Makes and Dresses Horses perfectly and not the Trench and Martingal no nor the Martingal with the Bitt if it be tied to the Arches of the Bitt for then the Curb never Works no nor the New-fashioned Martingal that is tied to the Cavezone for it hinders the operation of the Bitt OF THE FALSE REYNS TO work Horses with False Reyns is very False working for being tied to the Arches of the Bitt and pulling it that slacks the Curb and so no Horse shall be firm and setled with it for that Horse that doth not suffer the Curb shall never be a Ready-Horse so it makes the Bitt like a Snaffle There is no way but the Cavezone and the Bitt to Settle and Dress Horses withal perfectly and when a Horse is perfectly setled upon the Hand then being put upon the Hanches he will go so perfectly and Easily as you shall hardly feel him upon the Hand the Bridle will be so slack and he will go so just If you Work as this Book Instructs you you shall

Backward you must Help him every time and with the outward Reyn your Body a little Forward and your Leggs a little Back and Sit easie upon him and not too hard Upon Voltoes in Corvets use the outward Reyn and in every thing as I told you before only let the Horse go Forward as if he did not Turn which ought to be upon all Circles whatsoever except the Piroyte and commonly you are not to Help with your Leggs at all but if you do it must be the outward Legg a little to him This is the perfection of all Ayres whatsoever THE QUINTESSENCE OF HORSE MANSHIP IF your Horse will not Bend his Shoulders which is the principal thing then Tie the Cavezone My Way to the Girthe the inward Reyn as strait as you can but then you must Work upon nothing but Large or Narrow Circles his Croup out either upon a Trott or a Gallop or Legg and Reyn on a side his Croup out And this Infallibly will Supple his Shoulders and he shall never be Resty nor Entier But should you put In his Croup when he is Tied so hard it is so much against Nature and such a Forced thing as it is impossible for him to go and so to get what Ease he can where you think to work his outward Shoulder In you put it Back and work his Inward Shoulder for the poor Horse hath no other way to Ease himself and thus Horse-men are deceived work against Nature and Spoil the Horse But if you would Work his Shoulders and put In his Croup then you must take the Inward Cavezone's Reyn in your Hand and pull it to your Knee and Help with the outward Legg this is not so great a Force as the other and therefore brings In his outward Shoulder with Ease and gives a little Ease to his Croup being not so much In and therefore is proper for Le petit Gallop his Croup In and for Passager his Croup In most proper for a Gallop but not at all for Terra a Terra for there is none for Terra a Terra but my way which I wonder how I found out it is so Rare and True For there the outward Shoulder is kept Back and the inward Shoulder Forward and the Cavezone's Reyn to your Knee the outward Shoulder comes In and the inward Shoulder is kept Back This is the true difference betwixt Le petit Gallop and Terra a Terra upon Circles This you should get by Heart for it is the Rarest thing in the world because it is a subtile Truth To Know the Degrees of Tying the inward Cavezone's Reyn either to the Girthes or the Pommel of the Sadle which is the Life or Soul of the Mannage never found out but by My Self I Begin with Tying the inward Cavezone's Reyn to the Girthes which works his outward Shoulder presses him within the Turn and leaves his outward Leggs at Liberty is fit for Gallopping large or narrow D'une Piste as also for Passager either large or in his length and for the Piroyte No Horse can go or be made a Ready-Horse until his Shoulders be extreamly Supple and therefore this is the best Lesson in the world to Supple his Shoulders But you must take heed of putting his Croup in too much for it is impossible to put in his Croup and put out his Croup all at one time for the Cavezone's Reyn tyed to the Girthes puts out his Croup and at the same time you will put in his Croup with your Heel which cannot be And when the Horse finds your Ignorance working impossibilities then he grows Impatient and Resty as he hath great reason to be so Therefore you must not Tye the Cavezone too strait for if you do the Horse cannot go forward but turns Round and so grows Resty again as he must needs do which is your Fault not his You should Tye the Cavezone no straiter than to make him Look into the Turn and no more that is so strait that he cannot Look out of the Turn And thus he may go Forward and be pleased which is Natural and no Impossibility The inward Cavezone's Reyn tyed to the Pommel is another Business for this presses the Horse on the outside of the Turn and leaves his Leggs within the Turn at liberty keeps back his outward Shoulder and works his Croup and his outward Hanch and makes him subject to the Heel because he cannot get from it so he Obeys it and Flies it This is proper for Terra a Terra and Demi-Voltoes upon the ground but the inward Cavezone's Reyn must not be tyed too strait for if it be then the Horse cannot go forward no more than the other way and will grow Resty So the inward Cavezone's Reyn must be pull'd no harder than just to make him Look into the Turn and no more To pull the inward Cavezone's Reyn to your Knee or beyond it works the Horse's outward Shoulder presses him on the Inside and leaves his Leggs at liberty without the Turn supples his Shoulders and gives a little liberty to his Croup and the inward Cavezone's Reyn tyed to the Girthes hath the same opperation You are to know that the Invention of the Pillars is a meer Routine that is by Rote because it works by the Eyes and not by Feeling the Hand and the Heels and being obedient to them So that this Method of the Pillars hath spoiled more Horses than any thing in the world working upon the Eyes by looking at the Pillars and never any man wrought Horses well at the Pillar but Pluvinel that Devised them My Way is a Method of the Cavezone and there he goes not by Rote his Eyes doe nothing here nor the Voyce but the Horses meerly obey the Hand and the Heel which makes them all Perfect of what nature or condition soever they be and never Fails me OF THE Bridle and Bitt without the Cavezone YOu must know that the Bitt is a strange Engine for wheresoever you pull the Cheek the Mouth always goes contrary When you turn up your little Finger it pulls the outward Reyn which works his Shoulder on the outside and gives liberty to his Croup on the Left-Hand Your little Finger a little more turn'd up and a little on the left side works his outward Shoulder and gives his Croup a little liberty which is fit for Corvets Trotting and Gallopping D'une piste so in Pasadoes excellent for Passager so for the Piroyte Here the Horse is Prest within the Turn and at liberty without the Turn For Corvets upon Voltoes if his Croup be at the Center put your outward Legge a little to him and turn your Hand a little and Soutenir and he will go perfectly upon his Turns if he goes forward which is the main business and the Reason of that is because he goes a little Byas This is all with the Reynes in your Left-Hand And this makes him also go perfectly Le petit Gallop For Terra a Terra it is
