VICE OUTSIDE STABLE 147 



this to the same side as that on which his leg is 

 strapped up. 



Now put on a leather headstall, and after this a 

 leather surcingle (roller) in which three stout rings 

 are firmly fixed on the pad. When you have got 

 thus far, attach the crupper of the harness to the ring 

 which faces backwards. 



Fix a stout rope to the middle ring and pass this 

 through a ring on the head-stall and back again 

 through the first ring on the pad. 



Stand in front of the horse, taking the free end of 

 the rope last indicated, and with this draw the animal's 

 head up to the near side. While 3-ou are thus engaged 

 the assistant should be all the while pulling steadily 

 on the tail rope. By following these directions you 

 will succeed in making the horse roll over on his off 

 side. Having got him down, keep him down for a 

 short time, for the great thing in the experiment upon 

 which you have been engaged is to teach the animal 

 obedience. Once you have taught him this, and, 

 incidentally, the fact that lying down is not always a 

 thing to be done for amusement, he will soon give up 

 his evil ways and no longer sit down at inconvenient 

 places.
