CHAPTER 11. 

 Equine Education 



MAN must dominate the animal kingdom in 

 all his relations with it, and no such 

 arrangement as a partnership between the human 

 and the brute is possible. The master hand and 

 mind must always enforce submission, and in a state 

 of domesticity this all works for the well-being of the 

 animal as strongly as for the welfare of his owner. 

 Proper and patient instruction increases the animal's 

 market value and actual worth, and his receptive 

 faculties are greatly developed by the demands thus 

 made upon them, each step in his education being 

 the easier if the rudiments have been thoroughly 

 rehearsed and accepted. 



The education of a horse may proceed as far as the 

 owner pleases, provided its direction is restrained 

 within limits possible, both physically and mentally,
