1 70 EDUCATING THE HORSE. 



By adhering strictly to the instructions given, 

 every person will readily see, that the object in 

 laying the horse down is to give him to under- 

 stand that you are master ; and, after repeating 

 this two or three times, he will be perfectly sat- 

 isfied of the fact. While down, place a small 

 pole between his legs, moving it about ; if he 

 shows fear or resists, give him a sharp pull on 

 the cord in his mouth by way of correction. In 

 other words, punish him for doing wrong, and 

 caress him for doing right, thus making him 

 understand the difference between right and 

 wrong.
