or MANAGE, the exercise of riding the great horse, or the ground set apart for that purpose; which is sometimes covered, for continuing the exercise in bad weather; and sometimes open, in order to give more liberty and freedom both to the horseman and horse. See Horsemanship.

The word is borrowed from the French manage, and that from the Italian maneggio; or, as some will have it, a manu agendo, "acting with the hand."
