Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ...tact, patience and self-control on the part of the horseman. The teaching of tricks is merely the forming of what may be called unusual habits, and establishing signals to excite the horse to execute them. The circus horse is required to do a great variety of these tricks, and to illustrate the method of training we will take a case, as teaching the horse to bow and shake his head, or to say "yes" and "no," as the circus man puts it. In teaching the horse to bow or say "yes," stand a little to one side and in front of him, and with a pin prick him slightly on the breast. The horse will think the slight pain was caused by a fly and will put his head down to frighten it away. When he makes the move toward his breast with his head, caress him. Repeat and caress, giving the command "bow" or "yes" just as you prick him. Soon he will go through the motion at the command alone, in anticipation of the caress. To teach the horse to shake his head or say " no," stand on the left side and with a pin prick him lightly on the crest above the shoulder. As before he will think this a fly, and shake his head to remove it. The moment he shakes his head caress him. Repeat and caress, giving the command "no" just as you prick him. Soon he will shake his head at the command as before, in anticipation of the caress. To illustrate another method, let us consider the case of teaching the horse to stand erect on his hind legs. To teach this trick, the surcingle and back band, a common bridle, and the pulley bridle (p. 193) should be used. Place the pulley bridle under the common bridle, and rein the horse up as high as convenient. Take a position in front of the animal, hold the pulley bridle lead rope in the left hand and the whip in the right. Gently jerk with the...

Excerpt from The Training and Breaking of Horses: While the book is written from a practical point of view, the writer has in mind filling a need met in the classroom, where, owing to lack of time, it is not possible to consider details sufficiently to enable the student to take up the practical work of training horses To facilitate this part of the work, and to avoid repetition, free use is made of cross references. Recognizing the incompleteness of such a work, the writer will be glad to correspond with those into whose hands this book may fall concerning difficulties in the training of horses, and also to receive suggestions that will aid in perfecting the horse's education.
