There isbut one way of overcoming this trouble, and that is by theuse of the following means, the conception of which hasbeen original with myself, and brought to the notice oftrainers by me for several years, and has proved in skillfulhands a valuable adjunct, to the end of making flighty, ner-yous horses come down to fast, reliable going. Have made first four strapslong enough to go around thehind legs above the hocks,and from three quarters to aninch wide. Obtain next twoDs or rings, in size to admittwo each of these strapsto be run through. Stepin front of each hind leg andbuckle these straps aroundthe leg, one above and onebelow the gambrel, the ring. Cure for Breaking. or D in front, bringing the straps to an acute angle. Puton the head a light well-fitting halter. Attach a strap tothis, which must be in part double to regulate the angle,and must be long enough to extend from the head to theback edge of the girt.

Take next a piece of firm, hard cotton or hempcord, from three-eighths to half an inch in size.
