In so doing making a square knot out of the two. A little difficulty may now be expected—the idea is to teach the horse to let you have his head as shown in photo on page 17. The horse will spin around a few times until he becomes somewhat tired, causing you a little work and worr)-; but be patient and in a short while he will give you his head by the slightest indication of a pull.

This is a very important lesson and you really have now a subdued horse. PAGE 16
