After he hashad a few lessons of that kind, if you turn him out in a field, hewill come up to you every opportunity he TAMiNff THE HORSE. (See page 368.) rareys method op taminq horses. 56t You should lead him about in the stall some time before youtake him out, opening the door so that he can see out, leadinghim up to it and back again, and past it. See that there isnothing ont he outside to make him jump when you take himout, and as you go out with him, try to make him go very slowly,catching hold of the halter close to the jaw with your left hand,while the right is resting on the top of the neck, holding to hismane. After you are out with him a little while, you can leadhim about as yon please. Dont let any second person come up to you when you firsttake him out; a stranger taking hold of the halter wouldfrighten him, and make him run. There should not even beany one standing near him, to attract his attention or scarehim. If you are alone, and manage him rightly, it will notrequire any more force to lead or hold him than it would tomanage a broken horse. How TO Tie
