er from Imagination or from pain. Now,
it is law of his nature, that if you will
convince him that any object will not hurt
him, there is no danger of his soaring at it,
no matter how frigh.ful it may be in appear
ance. To exemplify this, take horse that
is very easily scared at an umbrella; take
that horse into tight stable, where you
can have his attention; take him by the
bride and hold the umbrella in your hand;
when he first looks at it. he will be afraid
of it, and, if he could, he would soon be
out of its reach; but hold it in your hand,
let him look al it and feel it with his nose
few minutes, and then you can open and
shut it as you please, occasionally letting
him feel it with his nose, and soon he will
care nothing about it. e..
| In the same manner you can break any
horse from soaring at things that may Look
frightful to him. If you wish to make
trial of this theory, just take horse into
the stable, and let him examine the fright.
full object few minutes after his mode Of
examining things, and you will be perfectly
satisfied. We have tried horses that would
not suffer you to take an umbrella on them
shut, and in fifteen minutes you could open
and shut it at pleasure, and they would pay
no attention to it. There is something pc
culiar in the horse (though it is because he
has net the faculty of reasoning.) You
can take an object that he is afraid Of, take
it on one side, let him examine it on that
side only; do no let the other eye see it; he
will be broken on one side, and as soon as
the other eye beholds If, and will be afraid
until he looks at it and touches it with his
nose; then he will be broken on both sides.
HOW TO TEACH HORSE TO FOLLOW you.
Take him into large stable or shed, take
hold of the bride or halter with your Left
hand, have long switch or whip in your
right; after caressirg him little, put your
right hand over his shoulder with the whip
extending back, SO that you can touch him
up with the whip applied gently around his
hind legs. Start up little, give him 6
gentle tap with the whip, walking him
around the stable. saying to him, "Come
along, boy;'' or call him by his name, ia
king him around the stable a few times,
holding him by the bride. After you have
taken him around in this way few times
you can let 60 of his bride, saying, "Come
along, boy;" and, if he step, tap him with
the whip gently, and in short time he will
learn that you want him to follow you; then
gradually get before h:m, have him to fol-
low you around the stable this way few
minutes, and he will understand what you
want him 10 do. -
After you have taught him TO follow you
in the stable, take him into the stable lott
and learn him to follow you in that few
minutes; and then you can take him into the
public road or street, and he will follow
you there, and in short time he will fol-
low you wherever you want him to 60
You should often pa. and caress him, and
give him to understand that you do not in
tend TO hurt him, and he will soon like to
follow you.. Men Often get their horses
afraid of them and they keep them so, and
it is their nature TO keep out Of danger when
they apprehend it, after their manner of
arriving at conclusions. The way horses.
arrive at conclusions is generally from ex-
perience.
