Along with the hat, the one piece of kit that is really checked: a proper heel, tall enough shaft, never trainers. Some yards lend half-chaps if you don't have boots.

Someone who already rides, as opposed to a beginner. A school sorts its lessons along this line, so it helps to know which side you are on. The word comes back at Le Morne, where it opens the lagoon.

- un cal rapid
- 🇩🇰 Danish
- en hurtig hest
- 🇳🇴 Norwegian
- en rask hest
The opposite of a quiet horse, for someone who already rides. In a yard you would say « forward » rather than « fast »: a horse that goes of its own accord, without being pushed. Not a horse that runs away with you — a horse with impulsion.
a nice horse

- en sød hest
- 🇳🇴 Norwegian
- en snill hest
The horse you ask for when you are not feeling confident. « A nice horse » works, but it is the most ambiguous phrase in horse English — it can mean kind, or well-bred. « A kind horse » is safer, and « a genuine horse » safest of all: one that never surprises you.
to pass in front of him
- 🇫🇷 French
- passer devant lui
- 🇪🇸 Spanish
- pasar por delante
- 🇮🇹 Italian

- 🇩🇰 Danish
- gå foran ham
- 🇳🇴 Norwegian

The simplest and most useful rule: go round a horse in front, where he can see you. Behind, he cannot — and a startled horse kicks.
don't walk behind him
- 🇫🇷 French
- ne passe pas derrière lui
- 🇪🇸 Spanish
- no pases por detrás
- 🇮🇹 Italian

- 🇩🇰 Danish
- gå ikke bag ham
- 🇳🇴 Norwegian

The sentence shouted in every yard in the world. If you truly must pass behind, pass very close with a hand on him: a horse kicks with room, not from touching distance.
speak to him before you touch him
- 🇫🇷 French
- préviens-le avant de le toucher
- 🇪🇸 Spanish
- háblale antes de tocarlo
- 🇮🇹 Italian

- 🇷🇴 Romanian
- vorbește-i înainte să-l atingi
- 🇩🇰 Danish
- tal til ham, før du rører ham
- 🇳🇴 Norwegian

Voice first, hand second. A startled horse defends himself; a warned horse waits.

- 🇩🇰 Danish
- vikl ikke træktovet om hånden
- 🇳🇴 Norwegian

The habit that breaks fingers. Hold the rope folded in your hand, never coiled round it: if the horse goes, the rope must be able to run.

- 🇷🇴 Romanian
- păstrează distanța
- 🇩🇰 Danish

In a lesson, one horse's length between you and the one ahead. That distance prevents a kick, the commonest accident in any yard.

- puść!
- 🇷🇴 Romanian
- dă-i drumul!
- 🇩🇰 Danish
