514 PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. 



proved so worthless that he sold him for $150, and afterwards re- 

 purchased him for $25. Also, a fine Star mare, owned by R. L. 

 Pell, Esq., of Fifth Avenue and Twenty-sixth street ; would kick 

 herself free in single harness, and would run away. This mare 

 could not be driven single. These, with others, were handled hi 

 our presence, including a large number of prominent citizens and 

 members of the press, all of whom were invited to witness the ex- 

 periments proposed to be made before this committee. 



In eighteen minutes (without throwing or any cruelty) Mr. 

 Magner made the Herbert horse so docile that he could be driven 

 with the greatest freedom without breeching, demonstrating the 

 most wonderful change in his character. The owner publicly 

 stated the fact of his former vicious reputation and unmanageable 

 habits. The Popham mare was driven with equal success in 

 twenty-seven minutes, submitting to all kinds of handling, even 

 from strangers. The Pell mare was next handled, and driven 

 gently in ten minutes, and the other horses with the same marked 

 success. 



We have carefully studied the merits of this treatment, and 

 have no hesitation in saying that Mr. Magner is the most skillful 

 and successful horse tamer and educator who has ever visited 

 this city. His method of treatment reduces the subjection and 

 education of horses to a definite and fixed science, and is in prin- 

 ciples and effect entirely superior to any other ever brought to 

 our notice, and inaugurates a new era in the subjection of horses. 

 The great ease and certainty with which horses of extreme vi- 

 ciousness can be controlled by this treatment make the knowledge 

 of it indispensable to all interested in horses, particularly to farm- 

 ers and those who raise colts. These facts induce this committee 

 to recommend all who can to attend Mr. Manner's lectures, and 

 obtain a copy of his book.
