Definition for BAL'O-TADE
BAL'O-TADE, n.
In the menage, a leap of a horse between two pillars, or upon a straight line, so that when his fore feet are in the air, he shows nothing but the shoes of his hind feet, without jerking out. In a capriole, the horse yerks out his hind legs. – Farrier's Dict. Encyc.
