HOW TO BREAK COLTS.
The following Instructions with relstiOn to the
management and breaking Of colts, aud the subse-
quebt operations npon obdurate and uugovernable
bor,es, were originally written and published by
Mr.. RsIey tone three years ago, and are an i'm
portant psrt Of bic system, although coming more
particularly under the head Of training rather than
tanning. II q colt s properly broken in his first
encounter with man, the necessity for method of
tanning, other than tina. used f,r wild horses would
never have been experienced, therefore ttese IN
structiops are peculiarly valuable.
HOW TO HALTER, SADDLE, AND Birdie COLT.
In breaking colt, We should first endeavor to
make him conscious Of what Is required of him.
lettering him with g halter for the frat time,
placing the saddle upon hs back, fastening the
girths, are all matters Of paramount importance,
demanding the greatest degree Of patience, per,e-
verance, and An intuitive knowledge Of his idosyn
crscies.
Before putting halter upon colt, be must be
rendered familiar with it by cAressing him aud per-
mittpg him 70 examine the article with bis nOse.
Then place portion of it over his head, OCCASION
ally giving it slight pull, and in few minutes he
will be accustomed to these liberties, and then the
halter may be fastened on properly. To tesch him
20 lead is another difficulty. Stand little on onesde,
rub his nose and forehead, take hold Of the strap
and pull gently, and at the time touch him very
lightly with the end of long whip across his
hind legs This will make him start and advance
few step,. Repeat the operation several times,
and be will soon learn to follow you by simply pull
ing the halter. The process of sadddling aud
| bridlDg is similar. The mouth of the colt should
be frequently handled sitter which introduce plain
suaffe between his teeth and hold il there with one
hane and caress him with the other. After time
| lie will allow the bride to be. placed upon him.
| The saddle can now be brought in and rubbed
against his nose, bis neck and his legs next hang
the strrup strap across his back and gradually in
snuate the saddle into it's place The girth should
not be fastened until be becomes thoroughly as
quaiIted with the saddle. The frst time the girth

attract his attentions subsequently It Can be tight.
ened without inspiring him with fear, which if fast
ened immediately it would most certainly do. In
this manner the widest colt can be efectually sub
jueated by such imperceptble degrees that be gves
| tacit obedience before he is aware of his altered
| condition.
THE PROPER WAY TO BIT 4 COLT.
Farmers often put biting harness on colt
the frat thing they do with him. buckling up the
biting as tight as they can draw it, to make ha
carry bis head high, and then turn him out 10 lot
to run half day at a time. This is one of the
worst punshments that they could nhict on a colt,
and very injurious to young horse that has been
used TO running in pasture with his head down.
A horse should be well accustomed to the bit be.
fore you put on the biting harness, aud when you
fret bit him you should only rein his head up 10
that point where he naturally holds il, let that be
high or low; he will soon learn that he cannot
lower bi. head, and tha. raising it little will
loosen the bit in his mouth. This will give him
the idea Of raising his head to loosen the bit and
then you draw the biting little tighter every
time you put it on and he will still raise bis head
to loosen it. by this means you will gradually get
his head and OK in The position you wish him to
carry IT, and give him graceful carriage, without
hurting him, nakirg him angry. or causing his
mouth to get sore.
Iyou put the biting on very tight the frat time
be csnnot raise bis head enough to Loosen il but
will bear on il all the time, and paw, sweat, and
