172 HORSE SENSE. 



we can, by the means here represented, throw the horse down with con- 

 siderable violence, and punish him severely while down and in close con- 

 tact with him, without his being able to help himself; but by so doing we 

 defeat the very object aimed at, viz., every time thereafter, remembering 

 the punishment received, he will refuse to submit until entirely exhausted. 

 But by the cool, quiet method and not being in too great a hurry, the 

 horse realizes his trouble, gets weary, lies down, finds he is unable to 

 rise of his own efforts, yet finds he has a friend in us, who comes to his 

 assistance in time of need, and he certainly appreciates it with a kindly 

 remembrance, or he would not rest so contented as shown in cut No. 87.
