i*equisite is possessed by but few men. A boy 

 fifteen or sixteen years of age can break, handle 

 and harness the wildest animal by the system 

 followed by the author. Patience, perseverance 

 and kindness are the chief requisites — not cour- 

 age, strength and cruelty. The man who is de- 

 void of patience cannot control and win the 

 confidence of a spirited horse. 



There is no other system known to man by 

 which a horse can be trained to drive without 

 bridle, bit or reins, guided simply by motions of 

 the whip. The principle is so simple that any 

 intelligent person can practice it successfully on 

 any intelligent horse. To make a horse trot 

 honest is also a part of the system taught exclu- 

 sively in this book. 



The subject of shoeing horses, being of great 

 importance to horse owners generally, has been 

 duly considered by the author. The bad effects 

 of careless shoeing are fully demonstrated. A 

 full history of Glanders, together with remedies 

 and preventives is also fully treated.
