Whipping Horses Dangerous.


or use horses. against exciting the ILL
will of the animal. Many think they
are doing finely. and are proud Of
their success in horse training by
means Of severe whipping, or other
wise arousing and stimulating the
passions, and then, from necessity,
crushing the will through which the
resistance il prompted No mistake
can be greater than this, and there is
nothing that so fully EXHIBITS the
ability, judgment and skill of the real
horseman, as the care and tact dis
played in winning. instead Of repell-
ing the action Of the mind Although
it may be necessary to use the whip
sometimes, it should always be ap
piled judiciously, and great care
should be taken not to rouse the pas
sions or excite the will to obstina-
cy.
The legitimate and proper use of
whip is calculated to operate upon
the sense OF fear almost entirely The
affections and better nature must be
appealed to in training horse, as
well az in training a child. A reproof
given may be intended for the good
Of the child. but, if only the passions
are excited. the effect is depraving
and injurious. This is vital
principle, aud can be disregarded in
the management of sensitive, cour
ageous horses, only at the imminent
risk of spelling them. have known
many horses of naturally good char
acter to be spoiled by whipping once;
and one horse that was vicious by be-
ing struck with a whip once, while
standing in its stall.
Sensitive horses should never be
left after they have been excited by
the whip or other means, until calm-d
down by rubbing or pattin2 the head
or neck. and giving apples, sugar or
something OF which the animal is
fond. Remember the whip mus: be
used with great care. or il is liable to
do mischief and may Cause irreparable
injury.-Professor Manger.
