EFFECT OF TEKATMENT. 307 



I managed, however, to keep him quiet while Arnd was 

 near him. 



I soon afterward left the place, but at the expiration of 

 about four years I again visited that part of the State pro- 

 fessionally. At Merchants ville, in the same county, I was 

 surprised to find this horse. I was informed that at the 

 moment Arnd would come near, the horse would become 

 furiously excited and seem ready to jump at him, but was 

 perfectly gentle toward others. Convinced that he could 

 not manage him, he sold him to his present owner, a resi- 

 dent of Merchantsville, who used him for breeding purposes 

 and for a family driver. 



The man told me his wife could hitch up the horse and 

 drive him as well as any old family horse, and he could 

 take him out in the street by the halter and play with him 

 with all the freedom he could with any pet horse. " But," 

 added he, " were he to see a bald-headed man, it would 

 make him so furious he would kill him if he could get at 

 him." Mr. Arnd was bald headed, and the horse retained 

 his peculiar repugnance to such an appearance. I took him 

 into the streets by the halter, and found he was just as 

 obedient to the whip as when I owned him, over four years 

 before. 



In training this horse to drive without reins, I was com- 

 pelled a great many times to punish him with the whip 

 very severely, possibly as hard if not harder than Arnd 

 did, but I was always careful never to leave him smarting 

 from the effects of such punishment. I at once gave him 

 apples, etc., until cool and quiet. It is impossible to teach 

 a horse to drive without reins, without at times whipping 

 quite severely. This must be done to force obedience to 

 the whip, or the horse cannot be relied upon.
