lOG HALTER Pi;LL!N(r. 



as to niake liim stand quietly, regardless of any of the 

 usual causes of excitement. Unless tins can be done, 

 the horse cannot be trusted to be hitched in the street 

 or any place v.iiere exposed to any cause of fear. Some- 

 times, we have horses that will stand all right when 

 hitched I)}- tne halter^ but will break the bridle every 

 time they are hitched with it. To treat a bridle jjuller, 

 have what we call a chin strap. A strap about four 

 inches long with a ring in the middle of it^ and a snap 

 at each end; snap these snaps into the rings at each 

 side of the bridle bit. Xow bring the halter pulling 

 rope throu^uh the ring in chin strap. When pulling 

 now, it will keep the bridle on straight, and what little 

 pressure there is on the bridle comes directly on top 

 of the head, without ptilling the bit lengthwise through 

 the mouth. Treat the same as halter-pullers. This 

 chin strap is a very good thing to hitch a colt with, 

 until he gets accustomed to being hitched with the 

 bridle, as it will not be aggravated by pttUing the bit 

 through the mouth- By following the above instritc- 

 tions, and exercising patience, common sense, and good 

 judgment, you will have no trouble in breaking the 

 worst halter-pullers. We have other 'remedies for 

 halter-pullers, but none so safe and reliable as the one 

 described, and for that reason I shall not describe 

 any other.
