Canter is a restrained gallop in which tlie weight is sustained chiefly by the hindquarters, the lightened forehand rising and falling in a high, bounding fashion, the gait being executed in a slow, collected, rhythmical way, on eitlier lead at command. Since the canter, like the galloj), imposes a special wear on the leading forefoot and its diagonal hind, the lead should be changed frequently. AVhen the simultaneous beat is of a lateral instead nf a diagonal pair of feet, and falls between the successive beats.

Jump, whether high or broad, is accomplished by the forelegs raising the forehand at the take-off^, thus bringing the body in line with the direction in which the jump is to be taken, when a strong, propulsive effort of the hindquarters carries it over or across, as the case may be (Fig. 18). In alighting, the forefeet come in contact with the ground first and almost simultaneously, the leading foot being a little in advance, after which the horse quickly gathers himself in a stride to avoid the hind feet, which follow quickly and strike the ground slightly ahead of the im- prints of the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Gay, Carl Warren, 1877-.
