. Hints on horses; how to judge them, buy them, ride them, drive them and depict them. Horses. HINTS ON HORSES 75 hands. When you wish to trot or canter you can throw your weight on to the pony, and thus keep up easily with him. If anything happens, catch the child in your right arm, and whisk him off the pony's back. With girls learning to ride on a side saddle they are at first inclined to " screw " at a trot, and not rise perpendicularly from the saddle. This screwing means sore backs, the animal's withers being wrung by the friction of the saddle. Make the child wear a Norfolk jacket having a pleat down the centre of the back, or chalk a straight line down the centre of her back, or else sew on a piece of ribbon, which can be easily noticed.
