The Proper way to Bit a Colt.

.. The Proper way to Bit Colt. 4e
Farmers often put biting harness on q
colt the first thing they do to him, buckling
up the biting as tight as they can draw it
to make him carry his head high. and then
turn him out in lot to run half a day at
a time. This is one Of the worst punish.
ments that they can inaict on. colt, aud
very injurious to a yoang horse that has
been used to running in pasture with his
head down. = .~ :.
A horse should be we'll accustomed to
the bit before you put on the biting .har.
ness, and when you first bit him you should
only rein his head up to that point where
he naturally holds it, let that be high or low
he will learn thatshe cannot lower his head,
and that raising it a 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 can draw the bit q little tight
er every time you put it on. and he will
still raise his hsad to loosen it. Dy this
means you will gradually get his head and
neck in the position you wish him to GARY
it, and give him graceful carriage, without
hurting him, making angry or causing his
mouth to be sore.-Rarsy. '..".
