EDUCATING THE HORSE. 



sure you have the Bonaparte bridle on him, that 

 you may be able at once to control when the 

 slightest resistance is seen. 



Directions. If your animal is very nervous 

 lay him down, as directed in other places, fold the 

 robe, hair side in, making it as small as possible ; 

 let him smell of it, rub it gently over his nose, 

 head and body; punish if he resists if not 

 caress. When submission is apparent allow 

 him to rise to his feet ; then, with your Bona- 

 parte bridle, properly adjusted, present the robe 

 to him again. Bearing in mind the grand 

 idea, punish for disobedience and caress when 

 he obeys. Carefully avoid all unnecessary ex- 

 citement while educating any animal, as it only 

 tends to benumb their senses and make them 

 less susceptible of being taught.
