THE APPARATUS FOR TRAINING. 277 Kind treatment and every care are due to ah animal, from whose ser- vices man derives such important benefits ; but too often does man kor- get that he has a duty to perforin, not only towards his fellow-man, but towards those domestic animals which Providence has intrusted to him for his welfare. THE APPARATUS FOR TRAINING. The appliances used in training horses by our new system are both cheap and simple. A common rope halter, a three or four ply cotton cord about twelve feet long, and a piece of line webbing, are all the im- plements required in training coltc. The Rope Halter.—This should be made rather heavier and longer than those used upon broken horses, and so arranged, by tying a knot or otherwise, that it does not slip so tightly as to pinch the animal's nose. The Cord.—This is nothing more than a three or four ply rope or cord. The cotton cord is m jch the best, as it works smoothly, and is much softer than any other, "^his coid is not a new feature in horse training, as impostors would have you believe, it having been used many years by various tribes of Indians, Mexicans, etc. It is mentioned in the Veterinarian of London in 1828 as used by the North America In- dians in subduing their horses ; hence it is known as the Indian war bridle. It has also been called the Yankee bridle, but the claim to this title is wrapped in some obscurity. The use of this simple arrangement is a powerful means of controlling horses, when properly used, otherwise it is more likely to ha'-m than good. To i)repare the cord for use. tie a knot in each end, as seen in the engraving, then make a loop by doub- ling the cord and passing the knot through, as represented by the en- LOOPING THE COKU. These loops should be at such distances from the knot as will
