in the menage, leaps that a horse makes in the same place, without advancing, in such a manner, that when he is at the height of the leap, he jerks out with his hinder legs even and near. It is the most difficult of all the high menage. It differs from a croupade in this, that in a croupade the horse does not throw his shoes; and from a ballotade, because in this he does not jerk out. To make a horse work well at caprioles, he must be put between two pillars, and taught to raise first his fore-quarters, and then his hind quarters, while his fore are yet in the air, for which end you must give the whip and the poinson.
