CHAPTER XIII 



The Breaker's Stable and its 

 Management 



In most instances the horse breaker has to put up 

 with but indifferent or bad stable accommodation, 

 because horsebreaking, as a business, cannot be con- 

 sidered one of the most lucrative, consequentl}- the 

 majority of horse breakers are not in affluent circum- 

 stances ; indeed, were it not for " making a bit," by 

 dealing, etc., so as to assist, the horse breaker would 

 have but a poor time. 



There may be wealthy horse breakers, but the 

 author would have doubt as to whether the sole and 

 only source of his — the horse breaker's — ^wealth had 

 been derived from this occupation pure and simple.
