 Teaching the Horse to Carry a Handkerchief. 



Place the handkerchief in your horse's moulh 

 between his upper and lower front teeth. Hold 

 his mouth shut and say, "Carry the handker- 

 chief." You will find that he will try hard to get

 it. When he does this press on his upper ai d 

 lower lips a little harder until he stops trying t: 

 get the handkerchief out of his mouth. Make him 

 hold it for a short time. Then take it. Repeat 

 the lesson until he understands what you want

 only a little more time and patience to make him 

 take the handkerchief out of your hand or pocket 

 when you command him to do so. It sometimes 

 requires a week or a month to get the horse to do 

 this properly.
