IPr^f. O. B. Gleason*s Famous Bonaparte Bridle nsod by Him since 187V 



The above engraving shows the bridle in backward actions for 

 teaching a horse to back and stop at word of command. This is a 

 cord fifteen feet in length, with a stationary loop tied at one end jusi 

 large enough to slip over the horse's lower jaw. Put it on the horse'a 

 lower jaw ; bring it over the middle of the neck from the off side ; 

 pass downward through the loop on near side ; bring up the lower 

 corner of cheek-bone on near side ; hold there with right thumb, 

 pass the slack through mouth from near side; bring over neck just 

 behind ears from off side ; then through loop held by thumb. Don't 

 fosten. Hold the long end in your ri^ht h- nd and take it back, and 

 you then have a most powerful bridle whioh will effectually stop any 

 horse, no matter how unruly or vicious, by merely giving it a sharp 

 jerk, and saying "take care" when the horse tries to kick. To 

 make a horse come to you at word, stand off eight foet with thii 

 oord in your hand, and say " come here/' at the same time ^ring
