In 1858 he went to England, and created such 2i furore there that, it is said, the gross proceeds of his exhibitions, lessons, etc., amounted to the snug sum of £25,000, or about §120,000. The annexed engrav- ing represents the halter recommended by Mr. Rarey for all purposes, with the addition of his ordinary breaking-bit. The halter is of leather, and made like an or- dinary head-stall, but rather lighter. A lead- ing-strap being buckled to the nose-band, either before or behind, any thing may be done with the colt short of mount- ing. The method by which this halter is con- verted into a very use- ful breaking-bridle is quite simple, conisting merely in attaching any bit which may be se- lected to the rings con- necting the check-pieces to the nose-band. The attachment is made by means of two small billets and buckles, as shown in the cut.
