PUBLISHER'S PREFACE. 



Though proverbially " the noblest of animals/' the 

 horse becomes of value to man only as he is subdued, 

 trained, and educated. Under proper treatment and 

 management he becomes tractable, intelligent, ser- 

 viceable, and devoted to his master. The author of 

 this volume has established a virorld-wide reputation 

 for training and educating horses. Long practice 

 and experience have brought his methods to such a 

 state of perfection as to not only challenge the admi- 

 ration, but to command the regard and gratitude, of 

 all lovers of horses. This volume teaches the reader 

 how to put these methods in practice. Under its di- 

 rections every one, man and woman alike, can acquire 

 the art of mastering horses.
