18 NEW SYSTEM OF EDUCATING HORSES. 



at the opening exhibition, and at least two hundred members of his 

 class were present to listen to the closing lecture, and witness some of 

 his wonderful feats of subduing and managing horses. At the close of 

 the lecture, one of the members of the class offered the following reso- 

 lution, which was received with applause, and adopted without a 

 dissenting voice : 



Resolved, That we, the members of Prof. Magner's class, hereby ex 

 press to him our high appreciation of his instructions in his system for 

 the reform and elevation of horses, which, in our estimation, is incom- 

 parably superior to any system ever brought before the public. By this 

 system, the management of the horse is reduced to a definite and exact 

 science, and we desire most heartily to commend Prof Magner to the 

 confidence of the public, and to express to him personally our thanks 

 for his patience, his thoroughness, and his gentlemanly bearing, while 

 engaged in his profession in this city. 



From the Adrian Weekly Times, April 13, 1871. 



During the present week. Prof Magner, the celebrated horse tamer 

 and educator, has conducted his classes in this city. He has created a 

 genuine furore among all interested in horses in this city, and his 

 reputation has extended to a circuit of country, and persons have 

 attended his classes from over twenty miles distant. He has succeeded 

 in subduing and rendering perfectly tractable some horses who have 

 resisted all previous efforts of horse-breakers and others to reduce them 

 to submission, and his wonderful power over horses excites the most 

 astonishment from those best posted in equine care and treatment, and 

 the exhibitions of the trained stud of horses which he owns and carries 

 with him, are superior in interest to the choicest features of the best 

 circus traveling. In every place he has been, the professor has received 

 the most emphatic and cordial endorsements. 



From the Toledo Blade. 



As a practitioner and teacher of the science and art of training 

 horses, the professor is without a rival, and has won the confidence 

 and admiration of the public wherever he has been. No one can 

 understand the seemingly magical power which this man seems to pos- 

 sess over the horse kingdom, until he witnesses one of his exhibitions, 

 and we are free to say that a knowledge of Mr. Magner's theory of 

 training horses will be invaluable to every owner of the animal. 

 Wherever he goes, his lectures should be heard and his experiments 

 seen. While in Toledo he had for his classes many of our best citi- 

 zens, and all feel not only fully satisfied, but endorsed him, as will be 

 seen, in the strongest manner. 



Happening into the tent one day, we saw the Professor training a 

 noble, but desperately stubborn horse, owned by Mr. R. Mott. After 

 operating with the animal but a brief time, his very nature seemed
