EDUCATING THE HORSE.

TO EDUCATE THE HORSE BAD TO GROOM. 



After making the Bonaparte bridle, put it on 

 the horse, standing at his side with the end of 

 the cord in your hand, with the other hand use 

 the curry-comb or brush and commence to groom 

 him. If he should resist your efforts by at- 

 tempting to kick or bite you, reprove him by 

 pulling quickly on the cord, at the same time 

 using the words " stand still." Afterwards if he 

 remains quiet, caress him ; if the punishment 

 should not prove effectual make the double half- 

 hitch under the upper lip, as seen in engraving.
