288 EDUCATING THE HORSE. 



the directions given below he will be prepared to 

 show as much style as any man in his county. 



Directions. — Take a small chain, about three 

 feet long, and attach to it a strap or limber stick 

 about the same length; with this in hand walk 

 into the stable and commence plying on him a 

 few smart blows, with this educator, above the 

 gambol-joint, repeating it once a day for three 

 or four clays ; when you hit him of course the 

 chain rattles and makes, to him, a peculiar noise. 

 Now, after you harness him up, put the chain in 

 your carriage, then take your place behind him 

 and commence driving, and when you want to 

 show style, just kick the chain about a little with 

 your boot and you will be surprised at the spirit 

 and zeal manifested by your horse.
