38 SUBJECTION. 



what they will do for us in a short time. For that 

 reason I will here give a brief description of a few, 

 noting however, that any result which may be ob- 

 tained by any of these rope bridles can also be ob- 

 tained with my Pulley Breaking Bridle. 



BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF CORD BRIDLES. 



r First Form War Bridle. This consists of a piece 

 of hard woven sash cord five sixteenths of an inch 

 thick and fifteen feet long with a knot at each end> 

 and a stationary loop around the neck. The rope 

 is brought down on oflF side and back through loop. 

 A few pulls with this bridle will make your horse 

 sensible to an easy bit, or make him follow you 

 readily without any restraint on his head. 



When there is more power desired, this bridle 

 can be modified by passing the rope over the head 

 just back of the ears, through the mouth, then 

 through the last cord on near side. 



Second Form War Bridle. This consists of a 

 rather tight stationary loop around the lower jaw, 

 the cord going thence from oflf side over the head 

 just back of the ears, down near side and through 

 loop at jaw. This gives power sidewa3^s and for- 

 wards and is good to teach a colt with sensitive 

 mouth, to follow. The real power is pressure on 

 the spinal cord.
