EDUCATION OF THE HORSE. 
_ Iv treating upon this subject we are well aware of the 
' difficulties under which we labor. We are conscious. of 
the fact that we are quite apt to excite the prejudices of 
men who, having managed horses to a considerable ex- 
tent, and having ways of their own with which they are 
satisfied, are likely to cry “ humbug” to any idea which 
to them is new and strange. -We are also aware that 
there already exists in the minds of many intelligent 
persons 2 settled opposition to all professionals whose 
business is pretending to improve the Horse—an oppo- 
sition arising from the many failures among that class, 
and the consequent damage done to their animals by 
being handled by such men, or under their instructions. 
We have no reason. to expect that we can obliterate 
these prejudices entirely, but we have faith to believe 
that if we are given a careful hearing,.and our advice 
put into practice, we shall do much to improve the opin- 
ions of the people upon the subject of the “ Hducation 
of the Horse.” We do not expect to improve their 
opinion of “ Horse-Taming.” It may be of some service,
