It is therefore of the highest importance to make the lateral flexion complete, so as to obtain extreme obedience from the ^^S- 37-—Incorrect lateral flexion. But when we practise lateral flexion in later work (changes of direction, work on two tracks, etc.), we ought to content ourselves with a very slight lateral flexion of the neck,* which like the head, should always be well placed. We can understand that a too strongly accentuated flexion checks the effect of propulsion by throwing all the weight on the outward shoulder. * As long as the jaws work we have lightness, and the slightest indication is -sufficient for changes of direction.
