While the animal is down on the ground

fires it close to his ear. Then in rapid
order be fires the weapon over his neck,
between his legs, anywhere that an
opening presents itself during the
horses futile stuggles. Not until he
sinks back exhausted, all a-tremble,
and showing the whites of his eyes,
does the pistol practice cease. After
two or three lessons of this kind it is

him know that it is there. Gradually
the strength of the pull is increased,
and with this safeguard the horse is
taught to stand fire from his rider S

In carbine practice the horse must be
thoroughly broken, as both hands are
required in using this weapon, whereas
with the pistol the rider may retain the
bride with one hand.
