Part I. PerfeSi Farrier. 1 8 1 



But fuppofe he do run away, what is to be done 

 then ? For it is certain, that the more you pull the 

 Bridle-Reins and hurt him, by ftraitning the Curb, 

 the more he will pull, and run the fafter. In this 

 cafe, if you have Field-room, when ever you find 

 him begin to run, let him go, by flackning the 

 Bridle, and giving him the Spurs, continually, 

 iharply, and foundly, until he begin to flack of his 

 own accord \ and ufing him in this manner when- 

 ever he runs away with you, I dare undertake that 

 at laft you will cure him, there being no Remedy 

 like this for a Run-away Horfe. 



If your Horfe be skittifh and apt to ftart, fo that 

 you are never free from danger whilft on his Back \ 

 if it proceed from a weak Sight, whereby Things 

 are reprefented to him otherwife than they are, 

 give him Time to view them well, and then ride 

 him up gently to them. But if he be naturally 

 fearful, and apt to ftart at the hearing of any ftrange 

 Sounds, you muft accuftom him to the Noife of 

 Guns, Drums, and Trumpets, and in Time he will 

 take delight in them.
