To Force a Horse on the Trot. During one of my early tours in Ohio, a horse-trainer came one hundred and fifty miles to attend my class. He stated that there was but one point in which he Avas interested, and if I could help him on that, it was all he de- sired. The point was, how to force and keep a horse on the trot under excitement. On this point he was very much interested, for the reason that he made the train- ing of trotters his business, and it was indispensable that he should be able to do this. Also, because he knew of a mare that could trot very fast, but when driven in company with other horses, or excited in the least, she would break, and could not be made to trot, and on this account was re- garded worthless as a trotter. He could buy her at a very moderate figure, and could make a big thing on her if he could break her; but he did not wish to purchase her un- less he felt confident of success in her management. This was'a new point to me ; but on the imjiulse of the moment I advised him to try the Breaking Rig as shown by cut on page 180, at first to work her slowly and gently.
