TRICK HORSES. 



MANY horses are susceptible of an education 

 far more extensive than is necessary for ordinary 

 use, and for the benefit of such persons as may 

 desire to teach their horses something more than 

 the usual accomplishments, whether for their own 

 amusement, or for the purpose of seeing how 

 far the intelligence of the animal can be devel- 

 oped, I have prepared a description of a variety 

 of tricks, which, as performed by my horses, have 

 been received with universal applause, both in 

 Canada and in the United States ; to simplify 

 which, I have, at considerable cost, procured 

 plates, illustrating each of the tricks. But that 

 no person may be misled into supposing that 

 this forms a part of my general system of edu- 

 cating the horse, I deem it proper to present 

 these directions separately. 



Though the tricks to be hereafter illustrated 

 and explained will add nothing of intrinsic value 

 to the horse, nor of real benefit to his owner,
