REACTIONS 311 



the special reaction was first made and learned to 

 show the horse that he is conquered in the places 

 and in the circumstances in which he was induced 

 to make that special reaction. If it is not possible 

 to put him in the same places and in the same 

 circumstances in which he learned to make a spe- 

 cial reaction circumstances and places must be imi- 

 tated as well as may be. 



With cart-horses which had taken the vice of 

 stopping and would not move, the remed)^ of olden 

 times in the country was to light straw under the 

 belly. Some would not move till the straw was 

 actually lighted though they knew the effect of fire 

 from having experienced it at other times. This 

 shows that they were intelligent. 



To tie the horse to the spot where he stopped 

 and would not move and keep him there a whole 

 day was another remedy and had a good eftect. With 

 a very restive cart horse the second remedy may 

 still be of service.
