A colt should be longed at a walk only

<h2>A colt should be longed at a walk only</h2><br>
<br>
<p><i>A colt should be longed at a walk only, until he circles without
force.</i></p>
<p>He should never be compelled to canter in the longe, though he may be
permitted to do it of himself.</p>
<p>He must not be stopped by pulling the cord, which would pull him
across, but by meeting him, so that he stops himself straight. A skilful
person will, single-handed, longe, and, by heading him with the whip,
change him without stopping, and longe him in the figure of 8. No man is
fit to be trusted with such powerful implements as the longe-cord and
whip who cannot do this.</p>
