See Also Between Horse:
Ante Before the game, each player including the dealer puts an equal agreed amount into the pool. Betting Each player decides which between horse he will back. A player may bet only on one between horse; more than one player may bet on the same between horse. A between horse still runs even if no one bets on it.The long between horse, essentially a side between horse with¬out pommels, is 53 inches in height. The between horse has lines marking zones at each end, the one nearer the performer called the near end and the one farther away, the far end. In the long between horse event, the gymnast vaults from a reuther board (a takeoff board designed to give a small amount of spring) over the length of the between horse. After a run of about 60 feet, the gymnast lands on the takeoff board and passes over the between horse, with one or both hands touching the between horse's body, while executing a vault such as a stoop, straddle, handspring, or cartwheel. Vaults are classified as either near end (croup) or far end (neck) vaults, and for the best per¬formance the hands must touch within one or the other of the two zones. Because a vault is of con¬siderable height and distance, the activity re¬quires leg strength and power.

Ripley was the president of the Brook horse Farm Community (1841-1847), whose members were dedicated to "plain living and high thinking." Following Frangois Fourier (q.v.), they published the Harbinger (1845) as a successor to the Dial. When funds had been exhausted and after a fire had occurred in the main building, the community was dissolved (1847).By be-ning unguligrade, and by turning the shoulder de on the body, the horse adds additional ots to turn simultaneously in the direction of tion.
