The education of the horse The education of the horse educationofhorse00neal Year: 1915 AILING s FAR as we have gone, so good; but the '^I'f^- animal is not yet subdued.

In so doing making a square knot out of the two. A little difficulty may now be expected—the idea is to teach the horse to let you have his head as shown in photo on page 17. The horse will spin around a few times until he becomes somewhat tired, causing you a little work and worr)-; but be patient and in a short while he will give you his head by the slightest indication of a pull. Do not give up until this is accomplished on one sicie; change your rope to the opposite side and repeat, giving a suitable word of command, but soft spoken. This is a very important lesson and you really have now a subdued horse. PAGE 16
