     It is a correct principle to vary these exercises�察�which should be gone 

through   sometimes   in   one   place   and   sometimes   in   another�察  �and   should 

sometimes   be   shorter   and   sometimes   longer   in   duration。   The   horse   will 

take much more kindly to them if you do not confine him to one place and 

one routine。 

     Since it is   a matter   of prime   necessity that   the rider should keep   his 

seat�察�while galloping full speed on every sort of ground�察�and at the same 

time be able to use his weapons with effect on horseback�察�nothing could be 

better�察�where the country suits and there are wild animals�察�than to practise 

horsemanship   in   combination   with   the   chase。   But   when   these   resources 

fail�察  �a   good   exercise   may   be   supplied   in   the   combined   efforts   of   two 

horsemen。��9�А�One of them will play the part of fugitive�察�retreating helter´ 

skelter over every sort of ground�察�with lance reversed and plying the butt 

end。 The other pursues�察�with buttons on his javelins and his lance similarly 

handled。��10�А �Whenever   he   comes   within   javelin   range   he   lets   fly   at   the 

retreating   foeman   with   his   blunted   missiles�察  �or   whenever   within   spear 

thrust    he   deals   the   overtaken      combatant      a  blow。    In  coming      to  close 

quarters�察  �it   is   a good   plan   first to   drag   the   foeman   towards   oneself�察  �and 

then   on   a   sudden   to   thrust   him  off�察  �that   is   a   device   to   bring   him   to   the 

ground。��11�А�The correct plan for the man so dragged is to press his horse 

forward�此�by which action the man who is being dragged is more likely to 

unhorse his assailant than to be brought to the ground himself。

unhorse him if anything。; 

     If it ever happens that you have an enemy's camp in front�察�and cavalry 

skirmishing is the order of the day ��at one time charging the enemy right 

up   to   the   hostile   battle´line�察  �and   again   beating     a   retreat���察  �under   these 

circumstances it is well to bear in mind that so long as the skirmisher is 

close to his own party�撮�12�А�valour and discretion alike dictate to wheel and 

charge in the vanguard might and main�察�but when he finds himself in close

proximity   to   the   foe�察  �he   must   keep   his   horse   well   in   hand。   This�察  �in   all 

probability�察�will enable him to do the greatest mischief to the enemy�察�and 

to receive least damage at his hands。

     The gods have bestowed on man�察�indeed�察�the gift of teaching man his 

duty by means of speech and reasoning�察�but the horse�察�it is obvious�察�is not 

open to instruction   by  speech and   reasoning。  If   you would   have a   horse 

learn to perform his duty�察�your best plan will be�察�whenever he does as you 

wish�察�to show him some kindness in return�察�and when he is disobedient to 

chastise him。 This principle�察�though capable of being stated in a few words�察�

is one which holds good throughout the whole of horsemanship。 As�察 �for 

instance�察�a horse will more readily take the bit�察�if each time he accepts it 

some   good   befalls   him�察  �or�察  �again�察  �he   will   leap   ditches   and   spring   up 

embankments and perform all the other feats incumbent on him�察�if he be 

led to associate obedience to the word of command with relaxation。��13�А�

                                                IX 



     The   topics   hitherto   considered   have   been�此  �firstly�察  �how   to   reduce   the 

chance   of   being   cheated   in   the   purchase   of   a   colt   or   full´grown   horse�察�

secondly�察  �how   to   escape   as   much   as   possible   the   risk   of   injuring   your 

purchase by mishandling�察�and lastly�察�how to succeed in turning out a horse 

possessed   of   all   the   qualities   demanded   by   the   cavalry   soldier   for   the 

purposes of war。 

     The time has come perhaps to add a few suggestions�察�in case the rider 

should   be   called   upon   to   deal   with   an   animal   either   unduly   spirited   or 

again unduly sluggish in disposition。 The first point to recognise is�察�that 

temper of spirit in a horse takes the place of passion or anger in a man�察�and 

just   as   you   may    best   escape     exciting    a  man's    ill´temper    by   avoiding 

harshness   of   speech   and   act�察  �so   you   will   best   avoid   enraging   a   spirited 

horse   by   not   annoying   him。   Thus�察  �from   the   first   instant�察  �in   the   act   of 

mounting him�察�you should take pains to minimise the annoyance�察�and once 

on his back you should sit quiet for longer than the ordinary time�察�and so 

urge   him   forward   by   the   gentlest   signs   possible�察  �next�察  �beginning   at   the 

slowest pace�察�gradually work him into a quicker step�察�but so gradually that 

he will find himself at full speed without noticing it。��1�А�Any sudden signal 

will bewilder a spirited horse�察�just as a man is bewildered by any sudden 

sight or   sound   or   other experience。   ��I   say  one   should   be   aware   that   any 

unexpected shock will produce disturbance in a horse。�В�2�А�

     ��1�А�Or�察 �so that the horse may insensibly fall into a gallop。; 

     ��2�А�L。 Dindorf and others bracket�察�as spurious。 

     So   if   you   wish   to   pull   up   a   spirited   horse   when   breaking   off   into   a 

quicker      pace   than    requisite�察  �you    must    not   suddenly     wrench     him�察   �but 

quietly and gently bring the bit to bear upon him�察�coaxing him rather than 

compelling him to calm down。 It is the long steady course rather than the 

frequent turn which tends to calm a horse。��3�А�A quiet pace sustained for a

long time has a caressing�撮�4�А�soothing effect�察�the reverse of exciting。 If any 

one   proposes   by   a   series   of   fast   and   oft´   repeated   gallops   to   produce   a 

sense of weariness in the horse�察�and so to tame him�察�his expectation will 

not be justified by the result�察�for under such circumstances a spirited horse 

will   do   his   best   to   carry   the   day   by   main   force�撮�5�А  �and   with   a   show   of 

temper�察�like a passionate man�察 �may contrive to bring on himself and his 

rider irreparable mischief。

     A spirited horse should be kept in check�察�so that he does not dash off at 

full speed�察�and on the same principle�察�you should absolutely abstain from 

setting him  to   race against   another�察  �as   a general   rule�察  �your   fiery´spirited 

horse is only too fond of contention。��6�А�

     Smooth bits are better and more serviceable than rough�察�if a rough bit 

be inserted at all�察�it must be made to resemble a smooth one as much as 

possible by lightness of hand。 

     It is a good thing also for the rider to accustom himself to keep a quiet 

seat�察�especially when mounted on a spirited horse�察�and also to touch him 

as little as possible with anything except that part of the body necessary to 

secure a firm seat。 

     Again�察�it should be known that the conventional ;chirrup;��7�А�to quiet 

and ;cluck; to rouse a horse are a sort of precept of the training school�察�

and supposing any one from the beginning chose to associate soft soothing 

actions     with    the   ;cluck;    sound�察   �and    harsh    rousing    actions    with    the 

;chirrup�察─�the horse could be taught to rouse himself at the ;chirrup; and 

to calm himself at the ;cluck; sound。 On this principle�察�at the sound of the

charger      in  a   state   of  excitement�察      �or�察 �indeed�察    �bringing     any   disturbing 

influence   to   bear   on   the   animal。   As   far   as   possible�察  �at   such   a   crisis   he
