him, and in a very short time you will have a horse 

 that will watch you as closely and follow you as well 

 as your dog. This bridle can be also used for ani- 

 mals afraid of bicycles, etc., and liable to run away. 



This bridle may also be used to break a horse 

 afraid of umbrella or buffalo robe as follows: Place 

 on the horse the bridle as seen in engraving. Pre- 

 sent the umbrella or buffalo robe, allowing him to 

 smell of it; then rub it across his nose and head; open 

 it gently, at the same time allow him to smell of it 

 several times; work gently till he becomes reconciled 

 to it, and in a few lessons you will be able to use the 

 umbrella in any place around him.
