A writer gives the following cure
for balky horses: Take small rope
and firmly attach it to the horses tail.
Take Il turn on the douhetree or cross
bar. giving slack enough to tighten the
traces. If the horses refuse to pull
tighten this rope until the draft comes
on the tail. No horse ever refuses to
pull by his tail. When the horse starts
the tail-hOlG may be relaxed until the
draft comes on the traces again. Many
baking horses will refuse to start, and
others will start of all right, but if
stopped will refuse to pull. The way
to treat this form of vice is to pull on
the tail rope until he draft comes par
TALLY on the tail. Then he will go.
The tail draft may then be gradually
relaxed until all the draft rests on the
traces. Persist in this treatment and
permanent reformation is u sure re-
suit.
