 of his doing so, all you have to do is to pull his head 

 away from the side he is shying at. His eyes will

 he is frightened of. But I should myself prefer doing 

 nothing at all and treating his behaviour as if it 

 was a matter of total indifference to me. The horse 

 will then soon forget all about the matter, which is 

 what I should want him to do.
