HORSE SENSE.

enough on the small rope to bring his nose to the ring on his back as 

 seen in cut No. 84. 



If the reader does not believe this is an uncomfortable position, let 

 him try to look back over his sliouldor one minute by the watch and 

 see how his neck will ache. After the horse has lain in this position one 



half minute to a minute, he will make a desperate struggle to rise but if 

 the small rope is kept tight it is impossible for him to get up. Just as 

 soon as the struggle is over we should approach him, (keeping the hand 

 rope tight), caress him on the head and neck and begin relaxing on the 

 hand rope until he is stretched out on the ground in an easy position as 

 seen in cut No. 85.
