And now, while your horse is eating those few ears of corn, is the proper
time to see that your halter is ready and all right, and to reflect on the

before you attempt to do anything, just what you are going to do, and how
you are going to do it. And, if you are experienced in the art of taming
wild horses, you ought to be able to tell within a few minutes the length
of time it would take you to halter the colt, and learn him to lead.
