OR, The Turn Out. 67 



it must only be applied to well-broken, docile borses, and in 

 the hands of a thoroughly experienced whip, the set being 

 without breech-band, bearing rein, crupper dock, rein billetts, 

 cheek'd-bit, swivells, hook, collar, and rosetts, and being 

 made very light in the leather work and furniture. The 

 Author thinks this should meet the wishes of the most 

 sensitive arguer against the bearing re-in ; but the fact 

 remains that any part of the present existing harness can 

 be, and often is, so adjusted as to become a greater '* instru- 

 ment of torture" than it is possible to make the bearing rein, 

 in which the neck gires way, but not so with the cheeks of 

 the bridle, the crupper strap, or the traces, when luckled un- 

 even or icithout play. 



The writer has invented a much needed substitute for 

 the driving-rein " billetts," which can be applied to hackney 

 bridles alike, and many useful points in a set of harness. 



The above substitute for rein furniture, (which means 

 economy in price, less weight for the horse, wear and tear 

 reduced to a minimum, and, improvement in the general 

 appearance of the " Turn Out ") the Author will be very 

 pleased to adapt to anj^ gentleman's reins, free of charge, 

 on the same being sent to his manufactory. 



The reader shall not be troubled with wading through a 

 long description of the different classes, qualities, and parts of 

 harness leather, such as 'backs,' 'butts,' 'bellies,' 'shoulders,' 

 'hides,' — 'black,' 'brown,' — &c., and the cost of produc- 

 tion and process of manufacture ; that being unnecessary 

 in this work, and more to the interest of the harness maker, 

 who is already experienced in every particular, and his good 

 judgment will ensure good value. The same rule applies to 

 the furniture, such as buckles, hames, &c., &c. 



After selecting the pattern, the rest must remain with 

 the harness maker, who will hold himself responsible for 

 fit and satisfaction. 



Specimens of modern harness furniture, price list, and 

 drawings, the Author will forward at any time post free.
