INTRODUCTORY. 



The abuses, and many bad habits and traits 

 of the horse, caused by these abuses,together with 

 the great love he in common with others share 

 for the noble animal — the horse — with its many 

 valuable attributes, have induced the author to 

 edit this little booklet. It has been prepared in a 

 convenient, small pamphlet form for pocket and 

 ready reference use, so that any one will be able 

 to profit by the author's many years of experience 

 in training horses and make them docile and sub- 

 missive to the work they were intended for. 



The author has devoted a great many years 

 to the training and breaking of mean, vicious 

 horses, and the experience gained during these 

 years in the training of some horses that have de- 

 fied the best of horsemen, the author has set down 

 in a simple way and in language easily under- 

 stood. During these years the author has given 

 exhibitions in numerous places and has subdued a 

 long string of horses with every form of bad 

 habit. 



The book should be in the hands of every 

 lover of horseflesh. Even children will enjoy the 

 reading of same, and it will teach them the love of 

 animals and how to handle the horse as they grow 

 up in years.
