inches wide at the bit, and extend Lack in the mouth 

 about throe inches, tapering to a point. He cannot get 

 the tongue back far enough to get it over this leather. 

 It is a much better remedy than the bits that are made 

 witli metal pJates on them; it is not so disagreeable for 

 a horse to liave in his moutii. 



A PULLER OR LUGGER ON THE BIT. 



In a majority of cases remove the blinds and 

 overcheck fmm the bridle and put on the Beery bit. 

 It may be i ecessary in order to break up the habit, 

 to give th<^ horse a few lessons on the words "Steady" 

 and "Wlina." By attaching the lines in the small 

 rings of the bit tlie horse can be taught that the 

 word 'Steady'" means to go slow, and "Whoa" 

 means to stop right there This bit has a control- 

 ing influence not to be found in any other bit. 



HORSE THAT WILL NOT BACK. 



Put on liim a surcingle; then put on the Pulley 

 Bridle under the ordinaiy bridle and take the lines 

 back through the ring in surcingle. Have your assist- 

 ant take a firm hold of the lines, while you take the 

 oord and stand on the near side of the horse, about the 

 shoulders, and just as you give the command *^Back" 

 give a sharp pull with the Pulley Bridle. If he only 

 goes back a few inches, let up on the cord and caress 

 him for it. By repeating this a few times your horse 

 will go backward as soon as he hears the command 

 "Back."
