The true way is % let the horse drive
himself, the driver doing little but direct
ing him and giving him that confidence
which horse alone gets in himself when
he feels that n guide and friend Is back Of
him. The mo.t vicious and inexeusnble
style Of driving is that which 80 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 impression that
such dead pull il needed to "alcadyr
the horse. The fact is, with rare excep.
tons there should never he any pull on
the horse at all. A steady pressure Is al.
owablc, probably advisablei but anything
beyond this has no Justification in nature
or reason; Tor nature suggests the utmost
possible freedom OF action Of head, body
and limbs in order that the animal may
attain the highest rate Of speed; and rea.
son certainly forbids the supposition that
by the bits and not the brcast.collar, the
horse is to draw the weight attached to II.
In speeding my horses | seldom grasp
the lines with both hands when the road
Y straight and free from obslructions,
The lines are rarely steadily tanl, but
he!d IN easy pliancy and used chiefly to
shils the bit in the horses mouth, and by
tins method my horses break less and 20
much MURRAY
