WORST HORSES. 71 



The greatest cause of failure, will be want of care and 

 patient perseverance. If we can force and win the obe- 

 dience of a horse in a given time, that is the treatment 

 to pursue to insure perfect success in the reformation of that 

 animal. Like the doing of anything else, work enough 

 must be done to secure the end aimed at with certainty. 

 A horse may submit to control in the most perfect manner 

 after a course of treatment, yet not be half broken. More 

 or less repetition of the treatment, with careful, prudent, 

 encouraging management will be necessary to insure that 

 uniform success in the performance of this great duty, 

 which its delicacy and importance demands.
