"The whip loses many race" was
the remark of an experienced trainer.
A willing horse will do all he can
without the application of what is
commonly called "the persuader." Do
not apply the lash to free horse, but
give the lazy ones few applications
of the whip. The faint-hearted horse
-d0es not v,-.-''t-''-..-' y, ' You shower him
with the whip it will do more harm
than good. 1t is not necessary to pun
ish a horse by logging him with
whip or spur to rouse his best efforts.

by the neck and hold him till they
have talked him into buying the ami
NAL. This is all wrong, and the OK
pcricnccd buyer, when he runs against
a highly lauded animal, looks him
over with double care, thinking that
the excessive praise of some good
points is for the purpose of concealing
defects. Horse buyers as rule are
shrcwd business men, know a good
horse when they see him, and will ask
about any points which their observa-
ton cannot discover. A quiet bust
ness manner will sell more horses for
better money at private sale than all
he "gab" of jockey.
