HOW TO MAKE A HORSE STAND WITHOUT HOLDING.

After you have him well broken to follow you, place him in the centre of

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

backwards. If he moves, give him a cut with the whip, and put him back

to 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

around the stable. Then make him stand in another place, and proceed as

before. You should not train your horse more than half an hour at a

time.
