How would you educate a horse not to be afraid of cars 



Aftswer, In taking a horse up to the cars put on the "Gleason 

 Bridle^^ taking the rope in your left hand, with the whip in the 

 right, making the horse follow you, and take him right up to the 

 cars and hold him there. It is impossible for him to get away from 

 you or this bridle. You then should caress him and teach him that 

 the cars are not going to hurt him. One of the main objects of 

 your lesson should be to teach the animal that you are his friend 

 and protector ; get him to place confidence in you, and he will go 

 through fire with you.
