This soon teaches him to stand until you are ready for him to start. Hard Pullers or Luggers on the Bit.—To break up this habit, use the cord in the same manner as upon a runaway horse, or have a pair of straps about taielve inches long, with a ring at one end and a buckle at the other; pass these straps through the ring of the bit on either side, carry them up on the side of the face, and buckle to the head piece of the bridle, which must be a strong one; buckle the lines to the rings on these straps, instead of the rings in the bit. This forms a gag, similar to the French twitch gag, and is a powerful means of controlling the mouth of a hard-pulling horse. Ugly to Bridle.—Some horses are ugly to bridle from having been knockeJ or roughly handled about the head.

This confines the head, preventing the animal from raising it. In this position, the hone will allow vou to put on and take off the bridle at pleasure. After putting it on and removing it several times, loosen up the cord, and repeat the bridling ; ever) time the animal resists, draw the cord tightly; on the contrary, when he yields, caress him ; you thus gain his confidence.
