There are people who deny that the
horse is able TO plot. 10 conceive or
reason Some horses are duller than
Others. and some apparently are better
equipped for thought than the men in
charge OF them. You teach a horse 10
start or stop at a word. and acts OF
kindness or cruelty are seldom forgot

kindness and carefully avoid doing any
thing to harm her.
We have in mind stallion who was
harshly punished. He treasured up the
act of injustice. and the author OF his
humiliation was compelled to keep
aloof from him. His manner plainly
indicated that the man would get hurt
II he Ventured within striking distance.
IhiS stallion trusts those who have
shown him consideration and in the
main is not bad tempered horse. He
appears vicious only TO those who have
treated him ViciOusly. His knowledge

About the only time that n horse
