66 METHODS OF SUBJECTION. 



make the horse come ahead until he will follow without re- 

 sistance, then, as described under that head, the power of 

 the gentle horse is brought upon him until he will go ahead 

 as desired. 



Putting this part over the head, about half way back 

 on the neck, drawing down tightly and tying into a half- 

 hitch, is a good way to keep the head down to bridle, etc., 

 but it should not be kept tied more than a minute or two. 



FIG. 65. Cord too far back on the neck, with loop on the 

 lower jaw too large. Will not work. 



(See cut 66.) Sometimes a horse bad to shoe can be made 

 to stand quietly by putting the small loop over the upper 

 jaw under the lip, instead of the lower jaw. Simply pull- 

 ing right and left a little, and holding rather tight while 

 shoeing, is all that will be necessary. 



Another modification is to put on the War Bridle (Sec- 

 ond Form) passing the cord across the upper lip and over 

 the head, thence through the loop this forms. (See cut 

 68.) This will sometimes work very well in controlling a 

 horse bad to shoe, harness, etc.
