136 THE HORSE: ITS TAMING, 



but having promised, he had fulfilled his promise. At 

 the termination, Mr. Galvayne received the very hearty 

 applause he deserved for his pluck, and also for his 

 humane treatment of the brute. Altogether it was a 

 sight never to be forgotten by those present, and one 

 that could not be adequately described on paper, as 

 language could scarcely depict the animal's actions^ 

 rage, and roars, and it is to be hoped that it will be 

 long again before such an exhibition of brutal vice is 

 seen in the most useful of all helpmates to man — the 

 horse." 



Ayrshire Argus. — " At Ayr the noted runaway 

 Clydesdale, the property of a local farmer, which 

 always bolted when a cart was brought near him, 

 was the subject on Saturday. About this horse party 

 opinion ran high, and a local breaker declared that no 

 man could put him into a cart. At the end of the 

 lesson he was not only put into a cart, but driven 

 down the High Street, Ayr, going perfectly quiet,, 

 although followed by an admiring crowd, who one 

 and all acknowledged the value of Mr. Galvayne's 

 tuition as exemplified in its effect on this notorious 

 bolter. Surely the prejudices of the old-fashioned 

 breakers must evaporate before such palpable proofs 

 of the benefit of the new system of taming and 

 training."
