but pass the cord over breeching to whip hand, so 

 that in a moment it can be appHed. 



No. 7. — For runaway horses, hard mouthed horses,

 ring, then through top ring, then to the side ring on 

 near side, and pull, then tie in slip bow ; this will bring 

 his head round in the " Galvayning " position. I have 

 put this on a mare kicking nearly as fast as a watch

I will say nothing about stable construction, as
