for a little while and pat the horse on the shoul- 

 der. Then lead him away from it and bring him 

 back to the pedestal again. Raise the leg and 

 speak to the horse as you did before. Next time 

 you bring him to the pedestal take a whip in your 

 hand and tap him on the back part of the from 

 leg between the elbow and knee with the butt end 

 of the whip. If he refuses to step on the pedestal 

 while you are tapping with the whip, assist your 

 horse a little by raising the leg. Every time you 

 bring him up to the pedestal be a little more severe 

 with your horse until he does as you command 

 him. After you have him working properly with 

 the left front leg, pull on the training bridle and 

 make him step up with both front legs. When he 

 does this for you, reward him. When you have 

 the horse trained so that he will step upon the 

 pedestal with both front legs it will be an easy 

 matter to get him to step upon the upper step of 

 the pedestal in the same manner. Work on your 

 horse fifteen minutes at a time, three times a da,y 

 for six or seven days. After your horse has once 

 learned this trick he will never forget it.
