102 TRAINING OF HORSES. 
back. The “Bridle” should be applied for two or 
three months, at intervals. You may take off the foot. 
strap after you are satisfied it is safe to do so, though 
you had better not drive a bad runaway until by means 
of these sudden stoppings he has become well accus- 
tomed to being stopped, and readily yields to the pull 
and the word. Every few weeks it is well to try the 
foot-strap and use some means to cause him to try and 
rup, being sure always to pull up before he can run, to 
test the force of the lesson. 
In Smverze Harnuss.—We advise that the runaway 
in single harness should, if convenient, be hitched up 
double, and apply the remedy for runners in double 
harness for two or three times, the “ Yankee Bridle” 
(see Figure 7) being applied before hitching up at all. 
Put on the single harness, using “ Rockwell’s Safety: 
Line,” (see Figure 10.) Drive with the usual driving- 
lines held in the left hand, and the safety-line held in the 
right hand, and if the horse attempts to run, pull up on 
the “safety-line.” This will effectually stop him, and 
eventually cure him. While you are on your guard you 
may excite him to run, and then stop him. You will in 
this, as well as many other lessons, avoid a bad reputa- 
tion for your horse by practicing after nightfall or with- 
in your own premises. 
If your horse runs away but once, immediately apply 
the remedy. It is sinful to risk the lives of those who 
are to ride after him. A little time and labor is of no 
account in comparison with the damage which he may do,
