Single G., Smartest Horse She
Knew, Waited for Applause,
Then Bowed

Pacing and trotting horses know
when they are in a race. They know
when they reach the final stretch
Some of them are smart enough tc
keep themselves in shape for races
They are sympathetic, faithful, and
resemble children in their character.
istics.
So says Mrs. c. X. Bryan, Bis.
marck, who has driven horses in
so races between 1914 and 1925. At
one time she was the only woman
driver on the Great Western circuit,
and she is the only licensed woman
driver in the United States.
Horses know more than people
give them credit for knowing, she
says. The smartest horse she, ever
knew was Single G, owned by Will
liam Barefoot, Cambridge, Ind.
Single G is considered the gamest of
all racing horses. This horse was
aware he was in a race, knew when
the race was over, and always kept
himself in shape by voluntary exer-
else. After winning a race. Single
G would walk proudly in front of
the grandstand and await applause,
regardless of directions of the driver.
After receiving applause, he would
bow and leave the track.
That horses know when a mile is
finished is evidenced by the fact that
most of them will finish a race with
out driver, if the driver falls off
the sulky, she says. They will run
their usual race, saving energy for
the final squirt when they will wind
in and out among the other racers
to reach first position. They can
tell it is race day by the change in
their workout program. They know
their names. and are particularly
faithful in most cases to their driv-
erS.
Horses Like Humans
Some horses are cool, others are
nervous. They are just like human
beings, Mrs. Bryan says. Reins are
usually raised from a horses back
for signal that the final stretch is
reached. The driver makes big
difference to the horse. One horse,
owned by Joe Huber, Bozeman,
Mont. never won a race until he
took the reins. The horse then won
seven races in a row.
Few drivers whip their horses.
Most of them merely strike the
shafts. Others wave the whip in the
air. Whips are used more as signals
than az forcers.
Horses have good memories, Mrs.
Bryan says. She has trained many
horses. Some don't see track for
periods of two or three years, but
they remember what they have been
taught.
Because most racing horses are
nervous. they should be treated kind
ly. and directed with soft
voice. Beating horse never
brings results except when they are
lazy and independent, she says.
Horses have taught me to be fair
and kind. They have taught me by
their examples to try harder. They
have taught me that they very much
resemble human beings"
Mrs. Bryan became interested in
horses when she was young. She
bought her first horse in 1918, and
has owned IL or Is horses since.
She was born and raised in Rochcs-
ter, Pa. She has raced behind such
notable horses as Flying Patchen,
2:12 Sd; Lottie Russell, 2:11 IA;
and Rose Leaf, 2:1O IA. She has
raced in Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
Dakota, Iowa, and South Dakota.
