Pulling the Halter.

TO BREAK A HORSE FROM PULLING AT THE HALTER. 



The accompany- 

 ing cut will illus- 

 trate an effectual 

 metliod of prevent- 

 ng and curing a 

 horse from pulling 

 at the halter. It 

 should not be ap- 

 plied in a stable 

 unless the animal 

 is watched, as there 

 is danger that he 

 may throw himself 

 and receive injury- 

 Put a strong strap or rope around the neck, and another 

 strap with a ring in it around the pastern of one of the hiTid 

 feet, and attach a strong rope to the ring, and pass it under 

 a firm strap or cirsingle. buckled loosely around the girth, 

 just back of the shoulder. Continue tLe rope between the 

 fore legs and through a hole or ring in the manger, or post, 

 where the horse will pull, and then tie it to the strap around 

 the neck— then let him pull -Ho his heart's content."''' A few 

 such trials will most likely subdue him. The harder he pulls 

 back, the harder his hind foot is pulled forward, and the exper- 

 imenter will be surprised to see how little the horse can do — 

 he will not be likely to even get his hind foot off the 

 ground.

 We have no faith in it. Take the warts from the legs 

 dry and powder them, blow up his nose, then take a 

 few drops of the oil of urodium on jour hand, and nib 

 on his nose, ^
