If there is only one man to help the lady to mount, he should place his left arm through the snaffle reins, so as to prevent the animal from getting away while putting her up.
"But Tristram's a tender mouth, and a bit of a bolter got to ride him on the snaffle, not the curb." Lady Highford looked down at her plate, while she gave an answer quite at variance with her own methods. "Snaffle or curb, no one would ever try to guide Lord Tancred! And what is the charming lady like? You all know her, of course?" "Why, no," said His Grace. "The uncle, Mr.
A low smooth hand is the only true martingale: this will never be acquired as long as an implement is used which tends to permit harsh, high handling with impunity to the rider. The snaffle, even of a double bridle, should be sewed to the bridle; it is safer for leading, and it is only the curb bit which you wish to have the power of changing.
Call the knob straps the snaffle reins, and the keyhole straps the curb, and, sitting near enough to let them lie in your lap, practice picking them up and adjusting them with your eyes shut.
Fairbairn chuckled and observed: "I think Herr Zimmermann might be provided with a number of such good and reliable soldiers selected by our General Staff," and he added with a truculent snort, "We could do with that sum of a thousand pounds here. You must put in a claim for it, Hillyard. Otherwise they'll snaffle it in London."
"Well," Snaffle communed with himself after she had departed; "there ain't no flies on the widow, and I guess she'll manage that clerk. She's a clever one, but if she'd been a little cleverer, so as to appreciate that I couldn't put that amount of stock on the market without sending the price down to bed rock, she might have had the lot at her own figure.
Sampson shot him a quick glance which Snaffle understood at once to mean that he was to second her in something she was attempting. He did not yet get his clew clearly enough to understand just how, but the look put him on the alert, as the hostess answered, "Oh, it is all spoiled. The railroad has been put through and all the summer visitors are giving it up.
Sergeant Blunt says he won't confine him unless Captain Snaffle orders it." "One moment, sergeant," interposed Colonel Button. "Has any disturbance any cry for help been heard at the guard-house, or was this the explanation?" And he looked with disfavor on the battered complainant. "Number Five, sir, hasn't called off half past 'leven. I've sent the corporal to see what's the matter."
In Ireland, where the large majority of our hunters come from, the snaffle is the bit used in breaking and hunting, as it is in steeple-chasing; and although our Irish neighbours find the curb has its advantages, we must admit that they keep it in its proper place and do not allow it to usurp the snaffle when riding over fences.
But don't you ride him on it till he wants it. Give him lots of room, and he'll go in the snaffle." All which caution made Phineas think that any insurance office would charge very dear on his life at the present moment. The fox took two rings of the gorse, and then he went, up wind. "It's not a vixen, I'll swear," said Lord Chiltern. "A vixen in cub never went away like that yet.
