Types and Breeds of Horses 213 



293. Care, of Horses. Horses are intelligent and 

 nervous animals, and should be handled with impas- 

 sive judgment. Your treatment should convince 

 him that you are his friend, as well as his master. If 

 a horse shies, or becomes frightened, soothe and encour- 

 age him. You cannot whip terror out of a horse, nor 

 courage into one. Before you check a horse's head into 

 an unnatural position try it on yourself. Read "Black 

 Beauty," and the story of the Bell of Justice in Long- 

 fellow's poem, "The Bell of Atri."
