EAEEY'S METHOD OF TAMIXG HOKSES. 



What is here said of " Earej's Metliod of Taming 

 Horses" is taken from "The Art of Taming Horses," 

 by the Hunting Correspondent -of the "Illustrated 

 :tTews." 



This method is based upon three fundamental prin- 

 ciples : 



First. That any horse may be taught to do any 

 thing a horse can do, if taught in a proper manner. 



Second. That a horse is not conscious of his own 

 strength until he has resisted and conquered a man, 

 and that, by taking advantage of man's reasoning 

 powers, a horse can be handled in such a manner 

 that he shall not find out his strength. 



Third. That by enabling a horse to examine every 

 object with which we desire to make him familiar, 

 with the organs naturally used for that purpose, viz. : 

 Seeing, smelling, and feeling, you may take any ob- 

 ject around, over, and on him, that does not actually 

 hurt him. 



The whole object of this " method" is, to give the 

 horse full confidence in his rider, to make him obe- 

 dient to his voice and gestures, and to impress the 

 animal with the belief that he could not successfully 

 resist his trainer.
