himself. This sort of horse won't lie 

 sulkily on the ground, l)ut, all the same, 

 cut him severely with the whip the 

 instant he is down. It confuses him 

 dreadfully to be first pulled over and 

 then knocked up ! "On the whole," he 

 thinks, '' standing on my own four legs 

 securely may prevent both these dis- 

 agreeables." And it does. 



A horse difficult to mount can be 

 rendered quite quiet with the Indian 

 bridle. I am not an advocate for tying 

 his head and tail together, but this is 

 also a sure preventive to his moving 

 as you get up. Pass the rope from his 

 bridle, under the girths, to his tail, and 

 then pull it until you get him slightly 

 into the form of a bow.
