K)8 APPLIANCES. 



His son-in-law. Dr. Pryor, had a young hor«.e that 

 accidentally ran away with him, after whicli it took four 

 men to hitch her up and she again ran away and tore 

 things to pieces. 



Dr. Pryor then said he would not hitch her up 

 again under ANY circumstances, and said that Mr. 

 Blackford could have her. Mr. Blackford said that

 LESSONS he made her PERFECTLY TRACTABLE, 

 and sold her for One Hundred Dollars. 



The VERY METHODS that he used with such

For years I have been besieged with inquiries in re- 

 gard to my different appliances. I have previously de- 

 scribed them in my book but have decided not to do so in

 material, and the Knee Pads could not be made so 

 they would keep their place while bringing a vicious 

 horse to his knees. 



For these reasons, I have decided not to attempt 

 to describe them, but to have each appliance made
