Training the Horse.

1t Is miracle, not that horses
occasionally turn sulky and rear or
run away, but that most of them are
so well behaved under their uncom-
Portable accoutrements. Now that the
full bridle-the double bitted-is in
such general use, 1t behooves every
one who rides to carefully study the
effect of the bits; to ascertain by ex-
pertinent how horse goes most pleas
antly; to purchase larger and easier
bits, and TO inspect the inside of their
horses mouths and consider those
wonderfully constructed, delicate and
sensitive membranes upon which those
instruments must rest.
As in the case of the saddle horse,
so with the heavy harness horse; we
do not use ordinary care that his
comfort is assured before we ask or
expect service. We jam a huge Liver
pool or "elbow" bit between his teeth,
and before he has more than licked it
over, proceed to convey to him series
of most confusing signals, which he
has neither time nor preliminary in
struction enough to understand. In
his confusion he finally makes leap
or plunge, and, not allowing for the
action of the bit, or the fact that the
drivers weight will almost break his
iawbone, receives a terrific jab on the
sensitive membrane and bruise which
either grows more and more deep
seated until some bone sloughs away,
or, continually painful, renders him
frantic each time he is harnessed Nor
does the mischief end here, because he
finds that If he pulls hard enough. that
Internal chain round his jaw and that
double-fisted Indian who is driving him
form Il combination which will quickly
destroy all sensation OF the two evils
he chooses the lesser-and another con-
firmed puller is educated.
Mouth and manners are interdepend-
ent, and no horse which has bad
mouth can have good manners. Heavy
hands make bad mouths, and so far as
equestrianism goes no man can possi-
Lly have good hands who has not
strong and secure seat; while he may
possess a very firm seat and the very
worst of hands. The Interpretation of
what constitutes good hands" Is gem
orally wrong, and half the people who
pride themselves upon such possessions
will be found 10 be actually riding ana
driving their horses behind the bit''--
/. e.. they do not make their animals
go up to and face II, but allow the
give and take" process TO be all
give" There is more to "hands" than
the mere manipulation. There is the
intuitlve perception Of what horse
is about to do. and the instant frustra-
tlon and correction Of any outbreak in
just the proper degree, which is SO
much q matter of instinct that 1t Is
automatic. Therefore, 1t may be said,
that. be he ever so assiduous in prac-
tice, no man can ever acquire good
hands, who is not thoroughly sympa-
thetic and has not that indefinable
"horse sense" so necessary to success
full equine manipulation. Ii Is this
quality which enables some men to
get on with even the most determined
rogues and pullers. No special appli-
ances for them, but just the exercise
OF the gifts of sympathetic intelligence
which nature has granted them.-T.
