HOW TO MAKE A HORSE STAND WITHOUT HOLDING. 



After you have him well broken to follow you, 

 place him in the centre of the stable begin at his 

 head to caress him, gradually working backwards. 

 If he move, give him a cut with the whip, and put 

 him back to the same spot from which he started. 

 If he stands, caress him as before, and continue 

 gentling him in this way until you can get round 

 him without making him move. Keep walking 

 around him, increasing your pace, and only touch 

 him occasionally. Enlarge your circle as you walk 

 around, and if he then moves, give him another cut 

 with the whip, and put him back to his place. If 

 he stands, go to him frequently and caress him, and 

 then walk around him again. Do not keep him in 

 one position too long at a time, but make him come 

 to you occasionally, and follow you around the 

 stable. Then make him stand in another place, and 

 proceed as before. You should not train your horse 

 more than half an hour at a time.
