112 TRAINING OF HORSES. 
a few severe pulls upon the “Bridle.” Do this in such 
places as he is most likely to bite, and we will warrant 
that a few efforts will teach your animal that his jaws 
were not made to bite his keeper. To prevent a stallion 
from biting his mate when hitched up double, attach an 
independent line to the outside ring of his bit, letting it 
hang loosely, the end being held by the driver. As he 
attempts to bite, pull up sharply, and hit him severely 
with the whip. 
PUTTING TONGUE OUT OF MOUTH. 
To prevent this, take a thick piece of patent harness 
leather, about four inches long and two inches wide. 
Cut off the ends rounding; near the edge on each side 
punch two holes, through which put a leather string, and 
tie it on top of a joint-bit. When you put in the bit 
place this on top of the tongue; take the side-pieces of 
the head-stall up pretty well. This will prevent him 
from running his tongue out over the bit. If he runs it 
out under the bit, use a straight bit, bore two holes 
through the bit from the under side, about an inch and 
three fourths apart. "To these attach a piece of ‘large 
wire, bringing it under in the shape of the bowl of a 
spoon. When you put on the bit, pull the tongue 
through between this wire and the bit, seging that the 
space is large enough for it to sit easy. These plats 
will soon break up this bad- ‘looking habit.
