lOO THE HORSE: ITS TAMING, 



horse. There are many, in fact most operations 

 can be performed without the animal being tied, 

 although I can tie my animals when down perfectly 

 easy, without any risk to myself, and with a mininiurn 

 risk to the animal. I consider this alone to be a great 

 improvement upon the old method, which in all cases 

 necessitates tying, and during the process of throwing 

 is very likely to permanently injure the animal, as the 

 animal fights through fear when getting his legs pulled 

 gradually from under him, and will in most cases 

 fight most desperately before falling. This struggling 

 on the part of the animal naturally necessitates a cor- 

 responding amount of power against the animal to 

 throw it. Therefore, in country districts, the village 

 is searched for " good and true men," half of whom 

 generally fail to carry out instructions at the right 

 moment, so all has to be done over again, with a little 

 " practical " remonstrance from the V.S. 



My system for throwing is a " single-handed " one, 

 or at most a lad will be all the assistance required. I 

 have thrown two full-sized horses simultaneously, and 

 neither capable of rising. 



THROWING A COLT. 



Put on head collar and buckle nose band tightly, 

 but low down ; next put on surcingle and crupper.
