CURING A SHYING HORSE

Fear, especially in young horses is
and in the opinion and experience of
the writer Shying from fear is the
easiest to deal with and the most Ger.
tain cure: for there is nothing to
which a horse will not become ac.
customed and Indifferent if handled
with patience and intelligence.
The utter disregard of flying. snort

horses is now so much n matter of
course as TO attract attention only
when its absence in country horses
compels one to pull up. and frequent
~ to show the driver how to pass the
car without accident.

thoroughbrcds that had never been

The chief difficulty was to accus.

in circles of gradually diminishing
size, but never trying TO force the
horse nearer than he could be cOaXed
to approach. Generally in less than
an hour the horse would go right
up to the car and accept caresses from
the conductor.
The next step was to follow the
starting car-which. luckily. vent
slowly for the first m~ile-trotting be-

no notice of it whatever. After that
il was merely a matter of meeting
cars at points where they moved slow.

of conduct to which there is no eX-

cally the equivalent of a frightened
child. Would any one in his senses
expect to cure his child's timidity by
scolding or whipping him or by yank-

Mr.. Richards said, Il find it easier than
