HOW I MAKE BIG MONEY 



OUT OF 



UNMANAGEABLE HORSES. 



By J. A. BUTLER. 



A BOUT two years ago, when I was in America, 

 J\ I witnessed up in New York 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 ovmer^ hands for ;,^io, and just ten 

 days after sold her for A clear profit of jC^S 



in ten days I 



That started me investigating. I learned that 

 Mackley had sim.ply 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 

 Beery's Course in his spare time, 

 and in a few months was abie to 

 accomplish m.agical results with 

 unbroken colts and horses with bad 

 habits. 



OTHER SUCCESSES. 



Mackley's work showed me a way 

 to make some big money, and I 

 determined to ta]:e Prof. Beery's 

 Course in horse-training — but before 

 doing so I made further inquiries. 

 Here are v.^hat a few of Beery's 

 students said. I'll let them tell of 

 their success in their own words. 



^Ir. S. L. Arrant v.-rites: — Just to 

 test Beery's methods, I bought the 

 worst balky, kicking, fighting horse 

 I could find. Paid for him. 



After handling him only a few hours 

 according to Beer}''s system I sold 

 him for ^27. 



Mr. Deli Nicholson, Portland, writer : — I have 

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

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

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

 take £40 for her. 



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

 Beeiy's instructions have changed a worthless, 

 dangerous balker into a horse worth ;^45. 



Everett McBlock Avrites : — Have just broken a 

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

 bought it for £^ los. Paid me to train it. 

 He just sold it to a show company for ;^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, selling 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 shying. A 

 piece of paper blowing across the road would set 

 the horse crazy. The ov/ner thought a great deal 

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

 shying 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 ;^io. 



CURING BAD HABITS. 



You can see from this that my work consists 

 not only in breaking colts and "gentling ' vicious 

 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, pawing in the stall, etc.. etc. — 

 Beery's m.ethcds 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 injur}' to the coll. 



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 



' Beery's methods make the task so 



easy. To every horse-owner, to 

 every lover of horseflesh, my advice 

 is to get iicquainted with the Beery 

 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 Beery, Dept. 

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

 booklet will be sent free by return of post. A 

 postcard (l^d. stamp) will do as well ns a letter.
