Buckle a four pound weight around the ancles of his hind legs, (lead is
preferable) ride your horse briskly with those weights upon his ancles, at
the same time, twitching each rein of the bridle alternately, by this
means you will immediately throw him into a pace. After you have trained
him in this way to some extent, change your leaded weights for something
lighter; leather padding, or something equal to it, will answer the
purpose; let him wear these light weights until he is perfectly trained.
This process will make a smooth and easy pacer of any horse.
