he will then go forwards •, this feldom fails : But if 

 it (hould, then make ufe of your Spurs to the pur- 

 pose, and let another Perfon on Foot whip him for- 

 ward ; and altho' he rebel a long time, the Whip 

 and Spurs will perfwade him at laft, if they be given 

 fharply, foundly, and in time ; and when once you 

 begin, you rauft continue them until he yield ^ pro- 

 vided it proceeds from Stubbornnefs, and not from 

 Fainting or Sicknefs. 



If he rears an end, that is, rifes fo high before, as 

 to endanger his coming over upon his Rider, you 

 muft give him the Bridle, and leaning forward with 

 your whole weight, give him both your Spurs as he 

 is falling down •, but Spur him not as he is rifing, 

 for that may caufe him to come over upon you. 



If he be apt to fall down ufon the Ground, or in the 

 Water, nothing better than a pair of good Spurs, 

 applied as foon as you perceive him going about it, 

 Which will put him from thinking more of it : But 

 if he defifts, then correct him no more at that time : 

 For bad Horfemen are the caufe of moft of thefe 

 Vices, by correcting out of time, whereby they are 

 fo far from making a Horfe fenfible of his Fault, 

 that they fright and put him into confufion, and 

 make him at laft become Refty. 



If he be apt to run away, you muft get a gentle 

 Bitt, with a flack Curb, and keeping a gentle and 

 eafie Bridle-hand, firft walk him without [flopping* 

 but only flaying him upon the Hand by little and 

 little, and then Trot him a while, and put him again 

 from a Trot to a Walk, flaying him by degrees, 

 and always cherilhing him when he obeys you. 

 When you find him thus far peaceable, put him 

 from his Trot to a gentle Gallop, and from that to 

 a Trot, and from a Trot to a Walk, flaying him by 

 degrees with a gentle hand, and ufing this method 

 for a while with Patience and Judgment,, you may 

 probably prevent his running away.
