How I Make Big Money Out 

 of Unmanageable Horses. 



By J. A. BUTLER. 



ABOUT two years ago, when I was iu 

 America, I witnessed up in New York 

 State an exhibition of horse-traimng 

 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 oft" the owner's hands for £10, and just 

 ten days after sold her for £35. A clear 

 profit of £25 in ten days. 



That started me investigating. 1 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 exhibi- 

 tions in colt-breaking and horse- 

 trainiug ; 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 

 v^'as 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 deter- 

 mined to take Prof. Beery's Course in 

 horse-training— but before doing so 

 ( made further inquiries. Here are 

 wliat a few of Beery's students said. 

 I'll let thcra tell of their success in 

 their own words. 



Mr. S. L. Arrant writes : Just to test Beery's 

 methods, T bought the worst balky, kicking, 

 fighting horse 1 could find. Paid £13 for him. 

 After handling him only a few hours according to 

 Beery's system, 1 sold him for £27. 



Mr. Dell Nicholson writes : 1 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 writes : By following Beery's 

 insr.ructions have changed a worthless, dangerous 

 t)alker into a horse worth £45. 



Everett McBlock, Elkhart, writes : Have just 

 broken a pony to drive and taught it some tricks. 

 •Owner bought it for £3 10s. Paid me £8 to train 

 it. He just sold it to a show comi)an_\ for £80. 



HOW 



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 owner tliouglit a great deal 

 of the animal, but couldn't take ch;incc> on the 

 shying habit. A friend of his for whom 1 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" 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 methods 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 anything — 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, kick- 

 ing, or balky horse when it is so easy 

 j) 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 advise is to get 

 acquainted 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 iuterestetl. 

 It is a booklet well worth having as it reve;ils 

 some startling information on horse - training. 

 1 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. 142, 

 Pleasant Hill, Ohio, U.S.A., and the booklet will 

 be sent free by return of post. A postcard (Id. 

 stamp) will do as well as a letter.
