88 SYSTEM FOR TRAINING CAY ALKY HORSES. 



cite the two controlling passions of his nature, love 

 and fear ; he will love and fear yon, too ; and, as soon 

 as he learns what you require, will obey quickly. 



In handling the horse, commence at or near the 

 head, handling the ears, tlien advance to the neck, 

 then to the sides, &c., until you have handled and 

 patted him from head to tail and felt all his legs. Li 

 doing this, you must proceed in a careful and pro- 

 gressive manner, and every time a horse shows any 

 nervousness return immediately to the head, and 

 commence over again, but gaining a little ground 

 each time. 



Proceeding in this cautious, careful manner, you 

 can halter the horse and teach him to be lead ; but 

 take time, and remember never to enter into a strug- 

 gle with the horse ; if you feel impatient, leave off 

 and beciin ao;ain another time. It has taken Mr Itar- 

 ey himself two hours to halter a colt, which shows 

 the great importance of working carefully and pa- 

 tiently, and from the very commencement, never al- 

 lowing the horse to receive wrong impressions, or 

 gain the slightest advantage over his trainer. 



A new beginner nmst not, however, expect to be 

 entirely successful the first time he undertakes to 

 break a colt, but, by the exercise of good judgment, 

 patience and perseverance, feeling neither fear nor an- 

 ger, he will eventually attain results fully compensa- 

 ting him for his exertions.
