How to Drive a Horse.

There is another point Of importance IN
driving any horse, says Murray, but csPec-
tally young one it is the way you handle
the reins. Most drivers overdrivc. They
attempt too much and, in so doing, dis
tract or hamper the horse Now and then
you fiud horse with such vicious gait
that his speed is got from him by the most
artificial process but such horses are for
tunately rare, and hence the style Of man
agement required can not become general.
The true way is to let the horse drive him
self, the driver doing little but directing
him, and giving him that confidence which
horse alone gets in himself when he feels
that a guide is back Of him.
The most vicious and inexcusable style Of
driving is that which so many drivers adopt,
viz Wrapping the lines around either hand,
and pulling the horse backward with all
their might and main, so that the horse, in
point Of fact, pulls the weight back Of him
with his mouth, and not with his breast and
shoulders. This they do under the i'm.
preston that such dead pull is needed 10
order to "steady the horse. This method
of driving | regard as radically and SUI
perlatively wrong. 1t would tax the in.
genuity of hundred fools to invent a worse
one. The fact is, with rare exceptions,
there should never be any pull upon the
horse at all. A steady pressure is allow
able, probably advisable but anything be.
yond this has no justification in nature or
reason for nature suggests the utmost pos.
sibe freedom Of action Of head, body, and
limbs, in order that the animal may attain
the highest rate Of speed and reason GER
tainly iorbids the supposition that by the
bits, and not by the breast-collar, the horse
is to draw the weight attached to IT,
In speeding my horse very seldom
grasp the lines with both hands when the
road is straight and clear from distractions
The lines are rarely steadily tnut but held
in easy plancy, aud used chiefly to shift
the bit in the animals mouth, aud by this
motion communicate courage and confidence
to him. | find that by this method my
horses break less, and 60 much faster, than
when driven by men who put the old-lash-
toned steady pull upon them
