A colt should be longed at a walk only

A colt should be longed at a walk only, until he circles without force.

He should never be compelled to canter in the longe, though he may be permitted to do it of himself.

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.
