GUY LINE. 



This is an especially strong strap, sixteen feet 

 long, especiall}" used for concjuering BALKEIiS and 

 STUBBORN horses. It is arranged with three rings 

 near the end, which has a snap in it. The snap is tak- 

 en over the neck and snapped into one of these rings, 

 making a stationary loop around the neck, brought 

 down and made into a half-hitch around the lower jaw. 



This line is to be used in the management of 

 bftlkers and horses that will not turn to the right or 

 left, or to master them when they ha^e the habit of 

 turning down certain alleys or streets that you don't 

 (Wire to go. An assistant then stands about ten feet 

 in front of the horse, and a little to the right or left, 

 and pulls in unison with the operator of lines and the 

 Double Saftey Rope. 



All that is necessary is to give him a hard puii 

 right in the act of resistance. You will only need t© 

 use this Guy Line a few times when used properly, 

 until he will yield readily to the touch of the rein. 

 Frequently we have taken . balkers, weighing fifteen 

 hundred } -iinds, right out of their tracks, eight or ten 

 f-eet, the first pull. 



There is something powerful about this simple 

 device, that I have never been able to fully explain, 

 yet it is equal to all emergencies.
