represented too long. It will be seen that in this plan the horse is made the 
instrument by which the punishment is inflicted. When he attempts to pui 
his foot down, his head goes with it, and he thus chokeshimself. Care should 
be taken that he does not pitch on his head, and thus endanger his neck. 
8. Third Methog.—Secure the horse with 2 stout halter tothe manger. If 
extremely unruly, muz- 
zle him. Sooth him 
with the hands for a

becomes somewhat pa- 
cifled. Then seize him 
by the throat (as in fig. 
57), close to the jaw- 
bone, with the right 
hand, and by the mane 
with the left. Now forc- 
ibly compress his wind- 
pipe until he becomes 
so exhausted that, by 
lightly kicking him on 
the fore legs, he will lie 
down, after which he 
should be treated as 
previously described. This process requires courage in the operator, and alse 
great muscular strength.

stable. The ope._#r should be previously provided with a stout leather hal- 
ter; 2 looped strap to slip over the animal’s knee; a strong surcingle, and a
