Text Appearing Before Image:
370 The Book of the Horse. or mail phaeton, much affected by the " golden youth " of the day, is a mistake. It leaves no strength in reserve; the driver can neither give nor take. If his horses pull, bolt, or fall down, he has no power to resist or assist them. As likely as not in a desperate case he may be pulled off his box. Nothing looks worse than to see a driver obliged to throw his head back if he pulls up suddenly. For this reason when a carriage is ordered the seat should be low rather than high, because a low seat can be raised.
Text Appearing After Image:
GOING .STRAlGlir, WITH ONE OK \ I'AIR. THE H.\NDS AND REINS. The above woodcut (drawn from life) shows how the reins should be held, with one or a pair, going straight. (The left hands in all the ivoodciits arc drazvn rather too fonvard.) The elbows should hang easily, be close to but not touching the hips, the wrists and hands slightly bent round in front of but not far from the body. This gives the fullest command over the horses, and should enable the driver to stop them without moving his body. No habit is more fatal to good driving than that of allowing the arm or hands to be dragged- out by the pull of the horses until the elbows are away from the hips, and the hands approaching the splashboard, yet nothing is more common amongst amateurs of both se.xes, who drive ve^^â
