Fig. 163.—Simple method of conlrolling the head. put a triangular piece of iron, in form like a V, between the collar and bit. The central point resting upon the collar, and with both ends attached to the rings of the bit, it held the head up in position as desired. A strong,- headed, doubtful horse will fre- quently drive with entire safety when the head is helplessly held up in this manner; but the check be- fore referred to is the simplest and best means. Sometimes the horse will kick only when the rein is caught under the tail. If he is simply irritable, and hugs the rein, the easiest way to prevent it is to wind an ordinary crupper with cloth, or cover nicely with chamios skin, or soft leather, until one half to two inches in diameter, as may be neces- sary. (See cut 165.) This be- ing lai'ger than the rein below makes it impos- sible for the horse to hug the rein with suffi- cient strength to hold it. When the tail becomes very sensitive from the continued chafing of the parts, its action becomes involuntary. In such cases it must be confined to make the horse safe. This can be easily done by buckling a small strap around it under the hair about two-thirds down the dock, from.
