How to Drive q Fast Horse.

People talk about q steady, bracine
pull, says Hiram Woodruff, Fut, in my
opinion, that is not tho right way to
drive trotter.
There's great difference between
letting 60 of your horses head and iu
keeping up one dull, deadening pull I'll
the time. The pull should be sufficient
to feel tho mouth, and give some sup
port and assistance, so us to give the
horse confidence to get up his stride.
More than this is mischievoua. 10
keep the mouth alive the bit should be
shifted occasionally. But this is not to
be done by pull of the hand GU the
rein. A mere halfturn of the wrist, Or
less than half turn, by which the thumb
is elevated and the little finger lowered,
is sufficient to shift the bit, keep the
mouth sensitive and rouse tho horse.
The reins are to be steadily held with
both hands while this play with the
wrist is made. and it is, OF course, only
to be done with one wrist at time. The
hands should be we'll down, and the
driver ought not to sit all of a heap, with
his head forward. Neither should he
lean back with bodily weight on the
reins, which, in that case, are made
sort Of stay for him. He should be MP,
right, and what pulling he has to do
should be done with the muscular force
of the arms. The driver who depends
upon the arms has command Of the
horse. He who substitutes bodily
weight with tho reins wrapped around
his hands has not half command of the
horse or of himself, either, and if the
horse is puller he will soon take COM
mand of the driver. The reason of it is
that there is no internlission of the cx-
ertion, no let up, either for the man or
horse. Besides, in that way of driving
it is fashionable to give those movements
of the bit which seem to refresh and
stimulate the horse so much.
When horse has been taught the
significance of the movement-the shift
by turn of the wrist-he will never fail
to answer it, even though he should
seem to be at the top Of his speed.
The moment he feels this little move of
the bit in the sensitive mouth, he will
collect himself and make another 8 .yurt;
and the value of this way of driving is
that the horse is not likely f. break when
called upon, while a high, strung, gener-
GUS horse, if called unon for final eff
fort with whip, is hs likely to breal. the |
moment it falls upon him as not.
have won many very close heat ny |
practicing this movement, and, there
fore, have no hesitation in recommend
ing it. 1t is not difficult to acquire, and
a horse soon comes to know what it
means.
