HOW TO MAKE A HORSE STAND WITHOUT HOLDING.

After you have him well broken to follow you, stand him in the center of

the stable--begin at his head to caress him, gradually working backward.

If he move, give him a cut with the whip and put him back in the same spot

from which he started. If he stands, caress him as before, and continue

gentling him in this way until you can get round him without making him

move. Keep walking around him, increasing your pace, and only touch him

occasionally. Enlarge your circle as you walk around and if he then moves,

give him another cut with the whip and put him back to his place. If he

stands, go to him frequently and caress him, and then walk around him

again. Do not keep him in one position too long at a time, but make him

come to you occasionally and follow you round in the stable. Then stand

him in another place, and proceed as before. You should not train your

horse more than half an hour at a time.
