56 THE HOESE EDUCATOR. 



FOR BAULKY HORSES. 



*His liabit tries the patience of man more 

 (^^ tlian any other, yet by patience and tact it 

 may be broken up. Horses with this habit are 

 usually high - spirited and of a neryous temper- 

 ament. They resist, because we haye failed to 

 make them understand what we require of them, 

 or it may be from a sore shoulder. Oyer-loading, 

 or working till tired out, is particularly the cause 

 with young animals. To wliip, under such cir- 

 cumstances, only excites them to more deter- 

 mined resistance. On the first attempt of your 

 horse to baulk, get out of the wagon, pat him 

 on the neck, examine the harness carefully, first 

 on one side, then on the other. Encourage him 

 at the same time with kind words, and again 

 reseat yourself in the yehicle. and giye the word.
