Nearly all men that keep tractable and well trained Horses, are good, kind heart-ed men, men who never lie to their Horses or deceive them by giving commands ina manner that they cannot be understood. I believe that it will not be saying too muchfor my experience and observation, that in a number of instances I can tell the dis-position of a Horse by looking at the man that owns the Horse. With these few suggestions and observations I put forth this little manual, fond-ly hoping that it will benefit both Horse and his owner wherever it may be read. Very Truly, JESSE CHAPTER TRAINING. Fear is the principal power which causes the Colt to resist training. It is natu-ral for him to kick against an unknown object at his heels, to pull his head out of thehalter as from a trap, and if of a bad diBposition, to strike and bite if he does notthoroughly understand you. His fear is governed by his sense of touch, sight andhearing; and it is through these senses we obtain a mastery, and at the same timeremove his fears of the halter, the robe, the harness and the wagon. These are thefixed laws which govern the actions of all Horses, and the training of a Colt is merelyteaching him not to fear the working apparatus, yet to fear and respect his master,and to obey his commands as soon as he has learned their meaning. Each one ofthese senses must be educated before the Colt is trained. A Colts education may be JESSE BEERYs practical SYSTEM OF COLT TRAINING. 9 compared with that of a child, to a great extent
