48 THE HOESE EDUCATOR. 



OBJECTS OF FEAE. 



^N driving, be careful not to make too free use 





Jbof the whip. If objects which jou are obliged 

 to pass are regarded by the horse with fear, 

 never urge him to pass them fast, or excite him 

 by using the whip. Let him stand and look at 

 the object, and drive him as close as convenient, 

 allowing him to smell of it, and see that no harm 

 is intended him ; at the same time talk encourag- 

 ingly to him, and in this manner he will soon be 

 fearless and confident, as well as regai»dless of 

 such things. Should you, on the other hand, 

 whip him for becoming frightened at such things, 

 he will be apt to associate the punishment wdth 

 the object of fear and be more frightened the 

 next time he sees it.
