at siglit of a stone, stump or paper in the street, 

 Avhile to others an umbreHa, raHroad track or 

 Ijuffalo robe are objects of fear. There are but 

 a very few horses which are considered tcell 

 hrol'en that have not some habits that lessen 

 their value. 



It is seen hoAv easily I make the Avorst of 

 horses yield to my control ; and if my instructions 

 are thoroughly practiced, success must inevitably 

 be the result. As I have heretofore said, the 

 great secret of taming horses, is first to get 

 control of them. This must be done by fear. 

 They must be taught that you can and will be 

 their master. Nothing in this regard is so 

 effective as throwing the horse. This has been 

 allowed for years by all successful horsemen 

 who have j^receded me. 



The first subject to which I invite your at- 

 tent ion is the young, green colt. "Teach him in 

 his you th the way he should go, and when he is 

 old he will not depart from it."
