 POLING THE WILD OR NERVOUS HORSE. 

 If the horse is a sensitive, touchy, wild fellow, he will make desper- 

 ate exertions to get away from the pole, but if we attend to business and 

 follow him up, he does all the work and we look calmly on until he stops 

 or falls, when we try to touch all parts of his body without hurting him 

 with the pole. 



TURN THE HORSE THE OTHER DIRECTION. 



It is often good practice to unsnap from that side securing his head 

 and tail to the opposite side and see if he will try to run the other way, 

 (which he may a little), then handle the legs of that side to which the 

 head is inclined.
