Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Complete Horse Tamer and Farrier: As Practised
Second. That a horse is not conscious of his own strength until he has resisted and conquered a man, and even in cases where he has temporarily tri umphed he may yet be subdued - that by taking advantage of man's reasoning powers a horse can be handled in such a manner that he shall not find out his strength.
Third. That by enabling a horse to examine every object with which we desire to make him familiar, with the organs naturally used for that purpose, viz., seeing, smelling and feeling, you may place or dis play the object around, over, and on him, provided that it does not actually hurt him or make him feel disagreeable.
With this introduction to first principles, I will endeavor to teach you how to put them into prae tice, and whatever instructions may follow, you can rely on as having been proven practical by my own experiments. Knowing from experience just what obstacles I have met with in handling bad horses, I shall try and anticipate them for you, and assist you in surmounting them, by commencing with the first steps to be taken with the colt, and accompany ing you through the whole task of breaking.
