BREAKING ON FOOT. 



For leading young horses, a circular mouthpiece is 

 sometimes employed. With it the pressure on the bars 

 is evenly distributed on both sides of the mouth. Or 

 we may use a leading-rein with a pair of spring hooks 

 at one end. 



When a mounted man leads a horse which has on a 

 snaffle or double bridle, and which he wants to lead on 

 his off side by the snaffle, he should pass the off snaffle 

 rein through the near side ring of the snaffle (see Fig. 99).
