322 FAULTS OF MOUTH. 



PLUNGING FORWARD WHEN STARTING IN HARNESS. 



Having put on an open snaffle bridle, give the horse a good 

 lesson with the long reins (see page 168), practising him at 

 circling, turning, reining back, starting and pulling up. 

 Then put him into a light two-wheeled trap and circle him 

 on foot (see Fig. 116) in the same manner as we did before 

 we had put him between the shafts. We may then gradually 

 work him in the way described on pages 253 and 254, until 

 we can start, drive, and pull him up without his showing 

 any impatience. 



PULLING AWAY FROM AND HANGING AGAINST THE POLE 

 WHEN IN DOUBLE HARNESS. 



Having seen that the gear is all right, we may proceed 

 to drive him on foot, and form his mouth and manners in 

 the manner already described in this chapter.
