The art of taming and educating the horse : with details of management in the subjection of over forty representative vicious horses, and the story of the author's personal experience : together with chapters on feeding, stabling, shoeing, and the practical treatment for sickness, lameness, etc: with a large number of recipes . ing thepulling.

To give something of an idea how I wasled to do this, I will refer to a chance incident:— Two colts that pulled very hard upon the halter—one METHOD OP TREATMENT. 283 of them desperately—were brought me to experiment upon.The one that pulled the worst provoked me so much by hisintense pulling, that to frighten him out of it I whippedhim very hard upon the tip of his nose, where there is themost sensibility.

Inmaking these experiments for over two years, I found thatin many cases the lesson must be repeated, in order to fullybreak up the habit, and that it was fatal to success to letthe horse feel tha
