CAPTAIN HAYES' HORSE-BREAKING. 



To THE EDITOR OF THE " PIONEER." 



SIR, Captain Hayes is shortly going from this to the Bengal 

 Presidency, and as during his stay he has taught his system of 

 breaking in all sorts of nervous and vicious horses to a large 

 number of people (and horses) here, I shall be much obliged if 

 you can find room in the Pioneer for this (and I am but endorsing 

 the opinion of many) my testimony to the excellence of his system. 

 It is most easily acquired, and has only to be seen to be 

 appreciated. His simple method of compelling a refractory 

 horse to enter a railway-box is, in my opinion, alone worth all the 

 money asked for the whole system.

Copy of Testimonial from Members of Captain Hayes' Calcutta 



Class. 



We, the undersigned, having attended a series of lectures con- 

 ducted by Captain Hayes on the theory and practice of horse- 

 breaking, hereby certify that Captain Hayes has completely suc- 

 ceeded in all that he promised to effect. We have seen him cure 

 confirmed buck-jumpers and jibbers, so that they were quietly 

 ridden and driven round the school ; also savage or nervous 

 horses have speedily been reduced to quietness and obedience. 

 All this had been effected without violence or cruelty. His system 

 appears to us admirable :
