92 HOW TO JUDGE A HOESE. 



stable door being too narrow for both horses to pass 

 through, at the same time, guide the old horse out 

 first, turn it around so as to face the door, then, bring 

 the colt near the door, take hold of the straps as de- 

 scribed before, let somebody urge the colt out gently, 

 turn the old horse to the left and everything is again 

 in good order. The above straps are sufficient to 

 keep the head of the young horse turned toward the 

 old one, so as to control it. Should it become ob- 

 stinate, refusing to go on, turn the old horse toward 

 the right, that is, against the neck of the colt, com- 

 pelling it to turn a few times, when it will be willing 

 to stride forward again. 



After having taught the young horse to be guided, 

 take it back to the stable and tie it so that it cannot 

 tug on the halter. If the young horse refuses to 

 follow the old one, which has been taken in the sta- 

 ble first, take hold of the halter with your left hand 

 near the head, place your right hand, armed with a 

 whip, over the back of the colt, direct its head 

 toward the stable door and administer a light cut 

 with the whip as far back as possible. The cut 

 coming from behind and from the other side, the 

 colt will move forward and to that side where his 

 master is. All the master has then to do, is to give 

 with his left hand, the proper direction, and it will 

 go into the stable without further trouble.
