Mounting n Broucho.

In mounting ii broncho when brc,k-
ing him the rider must be controlled by
the circumstances. owing to the blck.
ing, paving and kicking of the hose.
A fayorite plan is as follows: The
rider takes hold of the Bride bit with
his left hand and inclincs the horses
head towards him. He stands on the
left side, well towards tho front. Ho
turns the stirrup with his right hand.
lie then puts the right rein into his
right hand AMI holds it snugly aud
firmly on the horn of the saddle. The
horses head has already been inclined
toward him on the left and the head
cannot, when thus held, be tu,acd
either way if you keep good grip.
Then he puts the left foot into the stir.
rup and gently moves his right leg over
the saddle and creates as littlo fear as
possible in the horse. When in this
saddle, if the horse does not start at
once he does not urge him. A great
many think they must start the horse
as soon as they arc in the saddle. That
is not the way Let the horse stand a
moment if he will. When you start do
not attempt to go straight ahead.
The broncho is sure to pitch and
buck if you do. Having the horses
head turned when mounting, keep it
turned. The bucking is not so violent
if the horse is kept turning in his
course. Stme will pitch and buck any
way, but in breaking broncho kecr
him from doing this If possible. Many
of the cowboys, as they arc expert
horsemen we'll skilled, will teach and
encourage their horses to buck.
