HOW I MAKE BIG MONEY 



OUT OF 



UNMANAGEABLE HORSES. 



riBy2:J. A.| BUTLER. 



ABOUT two years ago, when I was in America, 

 I witnessed up in NewYork State an exhibition 

 of horse-training that opened my eyes. A man 

 by the name of Mackley took a devil of a mean, 

 vicious mare that hadn't been harnessed for seven 

 months, and in a few days had her gentle enough 

 for a schoolgirl to drive. Mackley had taken the 

 mare off the owner's hands for ;^io, and just ten 

 days after sold her for ;,^35. A clear profit of £2^ 

 in ten days I 



That started me investigating. I learned that 

 Mackley had simply used the methods introduced 

 by the famous horse-trainer, Jesse Beery. Beery, 

 I learned, used to go about the country giving 

 wonderful exhibitions in colt-breaking and horse- 

 training ; but realising that he could accomplish 

 more by teaching his methods by post, had given 

 up his exhibition work to spread 

 his horse-training secrets by postal 

 instruction. Mackley had studied 

 Beer)''s Course in his spare time, 

 and in a few months was able to 

 accomplish magical results with 

 unbroken colts and horses with bad 

 habits. 



OTHER SUCCESSES. 



Mackley's work showed me a way 

 to make some easy money, and I 

 determined to take Prof Beery's 

 Course in horse-training — but before 

 doing so I made further inquiries. 

 Here are what a few of Beery's 

 students said. Til let them tell of 

 their success in their own words. 



Mr. S. L. Arrant writes; — Just to 

 test Beery's methods I bought the 

 worst balky, kicking, fighting horse 

 I could find. Paid ^13 for him. 

 After handling him only a few hours 

 according to Beery's system I sold 

 him for £2j. 



Mr. Dell Nicholson, Portland, writes : — I have 

 trained a four-year-old mare that was given up by 

 everybody. Bought her for £7, and now have her 

 so gentle, my little boy handles her. Wouldn't 

 take £40 for her. 



Dean L. Smith, Findley, writes : — By following 

 Beery's instructions have changed a worthless, 

 dangerous balker into a horse worth ^45. 



Everett McBlock write-:— Have just broken a 

 pony to drive and taught it some tricks. 0\vner 

 bought it for ^3 los. Paid me ^8 to train it. 

 He just sold it to a show company for ;i^30. 



HOW I WORK. 



The big source of my income is in buying up 

 unmanageable colts and horses at bargain prices, 

 and, after training the animals, selHng them at a 



good profit. However, I also pick up good money 

 handling colts and training horses for others on a 

 fee basis. For instance, a farmer had a beautiful 

 driving bay that had the bad habit of shymg. A 

 piece of paper blowing across the road would set 

 the horse crazy. The owner thought a great deal 

 of the animal, but couldn't take chances on the 

 sh}-ing habit. A friend of his for whom I had 

 done some work put this man in touch with me, 

 and in a few hours I had the horse completely 

 cured of the habit — for which job I received £10. 



CURING BAD HABITS. 



You can see from this that my work consists 

 not only in breaking colts and "gentling" %-icious 

 horses, but in curing the various bad habits a 

 horse can have — such as shying, balking, fear of 

 motor cars, etc., pulling at hitching 

 strap, pawnng in the stall, etc.. etc. — 

 Beery's method of colt breaking are 

 particularly amazing. Under the 

 old way of handling raw colts one 

 usually had to half kill the horse as 

 well as himself to accomplish any- 

 thing — and then the colt was usually 

 spoiled or hurt in some way or 

 another. But when you apply 

 Beery's principles there is no hard, 

 long work or injury to the colt. 



No one should have a biting, 

 kicking, or balky horse when it is 

 so .easy to cure these vicious habits. 

 No one should attempt to break in 

 a colt the old-fashioned way when 

 Beer\''s methods make the task so 

 easy. To every horse-owner, to 

 every lover of horseflesh, my advice 

 is to get acquainted with the Been,- 

 principles. You can not only make 

 money for yourself, but you can do 

 a world of good, particularly at this 

 day when war-demands have placed 

 a premium on horses. 



WONDERFUL BOOK FREE. 



I have been requested to state that Prof Jesse 

 Beery will send his remarkable booklet, " How to 

 Break and Train Horses," free to those interested. 

 It is a booklet well worth having, as it reveals 

 some startling information on horse-training. I 

 have heard men who considered themselves expert 

 horsemen say that the booklet was a revelation to 

 them. There is no use in my going into details 

 on the booklet when you can get it free for the 

 asking. 



Just drop a line to Prof. Jesse Beer)', Dept. 

 1421, Pleasant Hill, Ohio, U.S.A., and the 

 booklet will be sent free by return of post. A 

 postcard ( ic^. stamp) will do as well as a letter.
