292 EDUCATING THE HORSE. 



abandon the habit. When your horse balks 

 get out of your carriage, walk up to him and 

 commence kicking him with the toe of your boot 

 under^ the fetlock joint, first one then the other, 

 using the word "shoo!" loud and quick every 

 time you kick. Then take your seat in the 

 carriage and use the word as before directed, 

 when your horse will start at once. This pro- 

 cess diverts his attention and causes him to 

 move on.
