legs froe as lie will with one srtapped up. Step 

 back on a line Avith the hips, holding the halter 

 firmly in your hand, and say, come here ! He, of 

 course, does not come, so you pull on the 

 bridle and he is obHged to swing round to you. 

 Step round to the other side and repeat, bring 

 him round by the halter each time, till when he 

 hears the words, come here, he will obey readily. 

 As soon as the colt submits to this step, remove 

 the strap from his leg and rub the foot gentl}'- 

 where the strap has been. Step back, and as 

 before, say come here ! if he does not come 

 readily, give him a sharp, quick pull with the 

 rope, which shows him you can handle him as 

 well on four legs as on three ; continue to caress 

 him for every step forward till he follows readily.
