EDUCATING THE HORSE. 253 



inch in diameter, and attach a ring near each 

 end and allow your horse to wear this when 

 driving, say for at least from ten to twenty days 

 or until the habit is removed. 



No. 4. To CURE A SIDE-REINER, ONE THAT 

 PULLS HEAVILY ON ONE REIN. Take a plain, 

 jointed bit, remove one-half of the part used in 

 the mouth and supply a small chain from the 

 side ring to the center joint, now on the side that 

 the animal pulls place the chain ; he is not only 

 attracted by the strange sensation in the mouth, 

 but when pulled on the chain side receives such 

 severe and unexpected punishment that he will 

 quickly give up his habit. 



No. 5. DEAD-MOUTH OR JAW BIT. This bit 

 may be used on horses that pull very much on 

 the reins, and a lady may with safety drive a 

 horse, as she can control him quite easily.
