Gleason's horse book The only authorized work by America's king of horse tamers, comprising history, breeding, training, breaking, buying, feeding, grooming, shoeing, doctoring, telling age and general care of the horse . The above engraving illustrates the use of my guy line, uged forstarting balky horses and teaching colts to turn to the right or left,A man stands directly in front or to the right or left, as the casemay be, and is controlled wholly by the driver, who sits in the wagonand whose commands he must listen to and strictly obey, so thatthe working of both men may be ia unison, and by giving the horse —108- •horfc lessons, not more than an hours length per day for Bay two 01three days, the horse will become thoroughly broke and will also be found very useful in handling a horse who is stubbornfcnd wants to go on one street while you desire to go — 193 — The engraving opposite illustrates the manner of educating a oollto pull in the harness by taking hold of the traces in the left hand andpulling gently back on them while he moves forward, getting himused to the pressure of the collar on his breast. After which he may behitched to a two-wheeled vehicle, and taking care in giving the firstlessons to select some level ground for the work, and make no falsemotions, never lie to him or deceive him. I condemn all bittingharness. It is certainly cruelty to animals to use them. It is amistaken idea of any man to entertain to presume he can changethe form or frame of a horse that was made by Dame Natures ownhandiwork.
