| NTRODUGTION. 


In presenting this work to the public I have no hesitancy, 
Knowing, from thirty-six years of experience, (a part of that time 
in theservice of the government) asa farrier, I feel free to say that 
as diseases change in the human family, and require different 
treatment, it is the same with the horse, and that their diseases 
change also, and require different treatment altogether. In my 
experience I have found that remedies, used some years past, that 
would afford immediate relief, now fail to have any effect what- 
ever. Also, to offer to the public a sure cure for Bone, Spavin, 
Ringbone, Curb, Splint, or any callous growth, that has not been 
previously treated with some other so-called cures, that have only 
caused ossification to set in, and entirely prevent a perfect cure, 
This medicine I warrant, asking a trial to convince themselves, 
complying strictly with the directions accompanying each bottle. 
I also recommend my other medicines that I manufacture, such 
as my Healing Linament. etc., and ask for them atrial. As these 
are remedies known only to myself, the formulas are not given 
in my book. Hoping to benefit the public in general, I remain, 

Truly Yours, B. F. RYMAN, Farrier,

They sometimes decay, and the horse has the toothache, They, 
also, should be removed. In some instances the molars are worn 
off, by uneven action, to a sharp edge and injure the jaw; such 
teeth should be rasped down smooth with a tooth rasp. Should

In this disease, few words are necessary, and it requires: 
prompt action, as there are but few who do not know when a 
horse is choked. If you can learn where the material is located, 
remove it from the mouth if possible, if not, with some safe arti-_ 
cle cause the “obstruction to be forced into the stomach. In al

tonic solution in half-table-spoonful doses every hour. 1

This is brought on by exposure and over-driving. It is an 3 
inflammation of the fine membrane covering the lungs, and also a 
lining the chest, and from the violence of the first appearance it W 
has been mistaken for spasmodic colic. In colic, at first the i 
pulse is natural; in this the pulse is strong, and the artery thin, 


and the pain is continuous. The lungs have a grating sound, the | 
fore foot is almost constantly pawing, the breating peculiar, short, | 
jerking quick, and imperfect.

: This often arises from nostrums, in condition powders, used 
_ to tone up the horse. It is sometimes maliciously used in order 
_ towinarace. Narcotics are also used for this purpose, as they 
_ deaden the sensibilities, and lessen the vigor of the horse. 

_ Symptoms.—Loathing of food, redness of nasal membrane, 
f belching of wind, signs of spasmodic colic, flanks: tucked up,

taken in regard to food and grooming. 


CRIBBING, 
This is a habit formed by practice, and caused by a disor- 4 
-dered stomach, and indigestion. These are caused principally 
from improper care, or, in other terms, neglect. . 
Treatment.—Place a piece of rock salt where the horse can 
have free access to it. Give frequently some wood ashes and a 
tea-spoonful of baking powder and a table-spoonful of Pulv. 
-alum. If the above does not prevent it, then treat for indi- 
gestion as in chronic inflammation of the stomach. Mechani- 
~cal means are sometimes used to relieve, not to cure. In the ~ 
stable, buckle a strap tightly around the neck, place a sheep ; 
-skin, or buffalo skin, with the wool or hair on the outside, / 
around the manger where he might place his teeth, saw be- 
tween the teeth, soap the manger, rub tallow on the outside of 
the front upper teeth, under the upper lip, and this will stop him 
for the time, and serves only asa help onatrade. The proper 
time is to give the right care, while the horse is young. Tokeep 
him from the habit is the best cure. 


BOTS. 


Much has been said about bots, and proofs offered that it has 
-caused the death of many valuable horses. By undertaking to _ 
kill the bots they kill the horse. Investigation has never found a

Be horse. They may get so numerous as to rob the horse of his. 
_ proper nutriment, but rely upon it, that when the horse shows 
_ what some call bot-signs, there is something else the matter. 
PY Reflect and reason on this matter, and act accordingly. 


THUMPS. 


Be _ This is produced by over-work; sometimes entered in a race, 
_ or at any work, when the horse is not able to perform the labor 
_ required, causing spasm of the diaphragm, commonly called 
_ Thumps, which is known from a noise from the body that can be 
_ plainly heard, and the motion felt, in front of the flank, and 
i requires prompt attention. 

i ht _ Treatment.—Stop the horse at once, and iualeer loosely. 

_ Give him a little water, well salted, and give the following every 
fifteen minutes for one hour, after which give three or four doses 
i an hour apart, then lengthen out the time between doses, until 
_ it need not be given, as the horse has recovered :

as severe driving, irregular and overfeeding. It always com- 
mences suddenly. The horse shows signs of violent pain, and © 


in a few moments is better; but the longer the worse. He will 


paw with his fore feet, and raise the hind ones as high as he can, 


then he raises all his feei, and falls suddenly, getting worse © 


very fast. He will roll, and, if possible, will lie upon his back, 
at times he will sit upon his haunches. 

Treatment.— Lose no time, and give the following, and re- 
peat every twenty or thirty minutes until relieved: —

Use injections to evacuate the bowels. Use water and soap, 


adding one ounce of turpentine to a pail of soap and water. If 
“severe, apply a liquid blister over the sides and botiom of the 


abdomen, and cover with a blanket. Watch that you do not 


blister too deep. Watch also that inflammation does not set in. 
Let the feed be light mashes until the horse has recovered. Re- 
-member, do not bleed or physic. 


FLATULENT, OR WIND COLIC. 


This is common among horses, and from various causes; 
‘imprudent feeding, both as to quantity and quality, and irregu- 


lar feeding and watering, producing acute indigestion, causing — 


‘the formation of gasin the stomach. There will be uneasiness, 
changing of the head, body enlarges, paws leisurely; he seems 


-stupid, has a dull pulse, will lay down and roll, shows some signs 


-of delirium, and the muscles of the lips twitch uneasily. 


Treatment.—Give immediately the following dose, and if not i 


better in thirty minutes, repeat:

ia INFLAMMATION OF THE INTESTINES. 

The first sign the horse will give, is that the nose and upper 
ip will be turned up forcibly. He will roll, plunge and kick; the 
reathing is done by the expansion of the ribs, as the movement 
of the diaphragm causes intense pain; the breathing is short and 
uick, the pulse increases, and a pressure upon the abdomen, 
‘auses violent pain, while in colic, it seems to give relief. To be 
sitive, roll up your sleeve, grease the arm, and insert into the 
anus, removing all the foecus. If dry and hard, and you find a 
1igh degree of heat, you then are certain. 

Treatment.—Give at once the following dose:

Then the pulse becomes more natural, leave out the aconite, 
nd as the pain lessens, leave out the belladonna, and lengthen 
he time between the doses, lessening them as may seem to be 
required. Use a sweat blister on the abdomen from the begin- 
ning. Watch closely, and when the disease is checked, give calo- 
nel one-half drachm, opium one drachm, every twohours. Hay 
ea, or flour gruel must be his diet, working back gradually to his 
ccustomed feed. 


ACUTE DYSENTERY. 


The first sign is spasmodic pain, followed by violent dysen- 
sry; the discharges become mere discolored water, with offen- 
ive smell; great thirst, the pulse soon becomes thick and feeble,

_dominal pain, sweating in different places.

Inject by syringe, every twenty minutes, with starch water one 
quart and one ounce of laudanum. A strict watch must be kept 
on the horse, and the doses given according to the action of the 
bowels, diminishing as the horse improves, feeding nothing of a 
laxative nature, and paying strict attention to his food. Colts are 
treated in the same manner, only doses should be given in pro- 
portion to age, and care taken not to check the discharge too sud- 
denly. The following is a good remedy for colts:

DROPSY OF THE ABDOMEN. } 

In this ailment the pulse is hard and small, and beats abode 
sixty times per minute. The head droops, food is not eaten, the 
nasal membrane is pale, and the mouth dry. Pressure upon the 
abdomen brings a grunt, and turning in the stall gives him pain. 
as he demonstrates by his utterance. By placing your ear to Riis 
side, and having him slapped on the opposite side, you can de- 
tect the presence of water. At that time he will lay down and 
remain in one position for some time. His thirst increases, the 
belly is baggy, the bowels are constipated, and the horse is hide- 
bound. a 
Treatment.—Give the following morning and night :

the water is collected, and occasionally apply sweet oil on the 

blister to keep it discharging. When _ healed, blister. again. 
Give in small quantities good nutritious food. Giving good care, 
and use patience, as 5 this disease is always tedious.

_ They are as follows: Ruptured diaphragm, stomach, spleen, 
intestines; also strangulation and intro-susception of the in- 
In ruptures, the horse may sit upon his haunches, or 
st on his knees, with haunches elevated, or show signs of a bad 
ise of colic, and no treatment will save the horse. He dies in 
‘strangulation, or intro-susception. The only chance is to chlor- 


WORMS. 
Various worms trouble the horse. 

Remedies: For tape worm, turpentine; for a foal, two table- 
spoonfuls; for a three- months’ old, one table-spoonful; for a six 
‘months’ old, two table-spoonfuls; for a yearling, three table- 
spoonfuls. Increase two spoonfuls for every year until you 


‘om one-quarter to a pint of oil.

horses, but what has a positive cure, and although much has 
been written on the subject by the so-called veterinary surgeons 
yet you find that the remedies prescribed are only materials that 
will create more inflammation, and produce ossification sooner and 
to a greater extent than it would have done had it been left alone. 
While the old theory is still retained to the present day—that 
firing or actual cautery is the method to perfect a cure—humbug 
receipts have been sold to the people of this country that have 
failed to benefit any one, but injured the horse, and caused the 
individual to waste some money without having any guarantee 
whatever. The venders are unable to tell you what effect their 
medicine will have upon a spavin, or any like growth. Experi- 
ence has never taught them, and they cannot tell you. Surgery 
fails, as the construction of the point is too finely constructed for 
man tO use instruments on and leave it perfect, consequently 
chemicals must be used to remove the superfluous material, and, 
heal the fracture, and then the horse is all right. 2 
You now ask, Is there such a compound? There is; and 
with thirty-six years of practical experience, not a single instance 
nas failed to perfect a cure; neither will it fail so long as the 
directions are strictly adhered to, and where they have not been 
maltreated. This remedy is known only to myself, and brought 
to perfection by myself, by experimenting, and is now manufac- 
tured and sold by myself, and I give a warrant with the medi- 
cine, as follows: 


That upon the deposit of five dollars in bank, or 
with some responsible person, I, the undersigned, agree to fur- . 
nish medicine to cure spavin, ringbone, curb, splint, or any cal-_ 
lous growth, or wasting of muscles, upon the following condi- 
tions; Provided, That the directions are strictly followed, and 
that the disease has not been heretofore treated with other so- 
called remedies, that had a tendency to produce ossification, © 
that after the complinace of the above cnoditions, if no cure is 
perfected, the money is to be returned to the party that made the 
denosit. 

Both parties to sign the contract with the time set for Pay); 
ment. 

I will here, state that I will give you a receipt, that was a 
humbug, to me, at a cost of $300, with a verbal warrant, that

v is worse than nothing to me, and to many others. I could give 
ou many other receipts, but they would benefit no one, and 
ould anyone try them they would only be injured thereby. 
nd while I have been offered, by veterinary surgeons and oth- 
rs, large prices for my remedy, and refused them, (deeming it 
y privilege to retain my discovery for my own benefit, and that 
of my family,) I offer it to the general public in the foregoing 
1 anner, thus giving anyone the opportunity of testing it before 
ying for the medicine. While the medicine used in the com- 
und is costly, and requires so small an amount to perfect a 
ure, some think the price enormous, but every one using the 
compound will receive full value. 

The following is the $300 Spavin Cure: Take —

a - Directions.—Shave off the hair and rub in the ointment well 
‘once i in forty-eight hours for three applications. My experience 
is that you will have an ossified lump, and the hair deadened. 
aa your horse not bettered, but otherwise. 


' OCCULT SPAVIN. 
g _ This is a disease that is hard to locate, as it is deep-seated, 
and is generally found near the center of the hock joint, and in 
‘moving the horse, he will step only on the toe, more so than in 
pene spavin. 

Treatment.— Use Ryman’s Sure Spavin Cure, according to 
ithe directions given. 


BOG SPAVIN. 


All horsemen know this disease. It is situated upon the up- 
ae forward, and i inner part of the hock; it resembles wind- 


Simmer slowly over a fire. After you have pulverized all

to directions, after which use a compress with the following : 


Vine Todi i Ody ueein talon (chek eer I ounce. 
AE! OPTI oi) Pe Hea eal ege ares oh pi alk 
PF bvext belladonna grein tins ace oes I vs 


Apply every night and cover with a perforated compress, 
until you have perfected a cure. Have patience in the treatment 
as it requires time. As inall other like diseases, the animal should 
have good tonic treatment internally. By a careful operation it 
can be reduced with a hypodermic syringe, withdrawing the ex- 
cess of fluid. 

SPLINTS. 

These are bony tumors, not unlike spavins, except in loca- 
tion. They are generally in the inside of the leg, or outside of 
the hind leg. When near the knee or hock joint, they cause much 
lameness. 


Treatment.— Follow directions strictly and use Ryman'e 


Sure Spavin Cure. 
RINGBONE. 


This, with spavin, splint, and curb, are all of the same na- 
ture. The locations, of course, are different, as aJl horse-owners 
know, and therefore we think it useless to give causes and symp-_ 


toms. 


Treatment.— Use Ryman’s Sure Spavin Cure according to 


directions. 
WIND-GALLS. 


These, all horsemen know, and should be removed, as they i 


may finally affect the tendons. 

Treatment.— Use Ryman’s Sure Spavin Cure as directed. 
In connection use the lotion given in bog spavin, but use no com- 
press. 

THOROUGHPIN. 

This is an enlargement which occurs at the upper and back 
part of the hock, beneath the great tendon. Generally both 
sides are enlarged, sometimes only one side, and if it is left 


alone it will be accompanied with a bog spavin. This requires | 


the same treatment as bog spavin. 


WASTING OF THE MUSCLES, OR Si Sats 


This is also known by all, and has nearly as Many remedies. . i 


THE HORSEMAN’S PRACTICAL GUIDE. 25 


causes of production are various, but withal it requires 


SPRAINS ‘OF THE TENDONS. 

The horse is liable to have the sinews, or tendons, of the fore 
or hind legs sprained from severe exertion of whatever kind, and 
requires the same treatment. Therefore use Ryman’s Sure 


CURB. 


; ~ This is an enlargement on the rear part of the hock caused 
by an injury to the tendon of that part. 
Treatment.—Apply Ryman’s Sure Spavin Cure as directed. 


RHEUMATISM. 


__. This ailment, or disease, is believed to arise from the condi- 
tion of the blood. I feel assured that eyery disease that affects 
‘the body has its rise from deranged part or parts of the organ- 
sm of the horse, and must make its appearance in some form. 
theumatism is accompanied with fever, stiffness and lameness, 
inflammation, and the pains are of a wandering character, being 
now in one joint, or limb, then in another; generally in the limb 
opposite. This is in the acute form. In the chronic form, the 
above symptoms are apparent, but modified, and there is less 
fever at times. 

‘ Treatment.— If there is excessive lameness, the horse should 
be palced in a sling, in a box stall, and raised enough to tkae the 
weight off the limbs. Apply the sweat blister to the affected 
limbs, blanket and hood warm, rub the limbs well, and give the 
following i in bran mash:

off the fluid with a hypodermic syringe, then give the following 
treatment: Apply Ryman’s Sure Spavin Cure as directed, and 
use the same lotion, and in the same way, as in bog spavin. 


CAPPED HOCK. 


Is generally the result of some injury, as in other like diseases 
having its cause. In this case it is mostly found on vicious 
horses that will kick at every slight inducement. The result is 
that they hit anything near them, and bruise the cap of the Bi 
causing a bruise and swelling, and creates lameness. 

Treatment.—Apply Ryman’s Sure Spavin Cure as aivdoreas 
and afterwards treat with sweet oil until healed. 


CAPPED ELBOW, OR SHOE BOIL. 


This disease is on the elbow, and is caused by the shoe. 
When the horse is laying down the shoe of the fore foot rests 
upon the elbow of the same leg. To prevent this disease, put a 
leather boot on the leg or foot that he places to cause this injury; 
but if the disease is there give the following treatment: Apply 
Ryman’s Sure Spavin Cure as directed, after which use the same 
lotion as in bog spavin. If it has broken, syringe the boil out 
three or four times a day with the following:

parts are affected by it. We deem it unnecessary to go into a

touch the sole of the foot. Let him rest only on the outer part!| 
of the foot; that is, the outer rim, but not on the quarters, and| 


use him carefully. 
CONTRACTED FEET. 


This is always in the fore feet, and is sometimes caused by 
standing in the stable too long without service, or by over-driving 
the horse, and then left standing too long housed without exer- 
cise, improper shoeing, opening and paring down the heel, and 
having too much pressure on the heel. All of these havea ten- 
dency to produce contraction of the foot. | 


Treatment.—Apply lightly, around the upper part of the 
hoof, in the hair, the Lightning liniment, and when it has pro- 
duced sufficient irritation, apply the hoof liniment. On the 
same place, clean out the bottom of the foot and anoint the heel 
and bottom well every night, and when you have your horse 
shod, do not allow the shoe to rest on the quarters or back part 
of the foot, but only on the outer part anywhere. Never allow 
it to touch the sole. You will want to blister lightly every two 
weeks, giving the horse the best of care, as well as the feet, and 
you will succeed in restoring them. 


QUITTOR. 


This arises from wounds in the coronet of the hoof. Matter 
collects that cannot escape, and a pipe is formed, or perhaps more, 
similar to fistula. 


Treatment.—Always examine a wound of this kind carefully. 
Probe it carefully, and fill the cavity with corrosive sublimate 
Pulv. one drachm, wheat-flour three drachms. Syringe twice 
daily, and when the pipe is destroyed, use healing ointment. 


CORNS. 


Remedy.— Have them pared down properly, and touch them 
lightly with muriatic acid. Clean them often and bathe with one 
scruple of chloride of zinc, and one pint of water. In shoeing, 
never allow the shoe to rest on the corn. 


THRUSH. 

This is a foul discharge from the cleft of the foot. The 
smell is offensive, the frog diminishes, and the principal cause is 
filthy stables.

_ Treatment.—Cleanse the feet thoroughly with soap and

Remove all the ragged parts of the frog, and pare down the 
dry parts of the sole. Bathe with the above daily. 


CANKER 


Is of like character, but more aggravated. The discharge is 

greater and the smell more offensive. The causes are the same, 

but it must be treated differently.

‘ canker sore. Pulverize and sprinkle these powders all over the 
affected parts once a day:

not allow the shoe to rest on the quarter. 


INFLUENZA—CALLED PINKEYE. AND EPIZOOTIC. 


The horse suddenly droops his head, ears and lips, and par- 
tially closes his eyes, stands peculiar and remains in one position, 
with back arched, coughs dry and husky, breathing hastily; the 
puise is rapid, and the urine scanty. The membranes of the 
nose and eyes are reddened. If your ear is placed to the wind- 
pipe you can hear a loud blowing murmur. There is a watery 
discharge from the nose and eyes, and the throat is sore. 

Treatment.— Blister around the throat, down the wind-pipe 
to the breast, and over the lungs. Blanket warm and give aco- 
nite in ten-drop doses every hour until the fever abates, then 
lengthen the time between doses. Remove the costiveness by 
injections, adding two drachms of aloes. Watch the fever closely, 
and as soon as it subsides, give the tonic solution every two hours. 
Keep the legs well rubbed and stimulated. If extreme prostra- 
tion should set in, give the following every two hours:

FARCY. 


This is said to be the advance agent of glanders, which we 
Jo not believe. Yet we po believe that if left to run, it would 
inally end in glanders, which have always been incurable, but 
we have cured numbers of cases of farcy. Farcy has always 
been located on what are called farcy-cords, on the inside of the 
1 legs. This is, however, a mistake, as we have seen it on various 
portions of the body—not always in groups, or bunches—but a 
“mark here and there, and emitting thesame manner of pus. The 
treatment must be thorough, and must tend to purify in every 
sense. The internal and external compounds are given in the list 
of formulas, consisting of liniments for external applications, and 
powders Nos. 1, 2 and 3, for internal doses. The food. and care 
must be of the best. 
| GLANDERS. 


_ This is one of the most dangerous, dreadful, and loath- 
some diseases that man can be innoculated with, and it is 
also dangerous to animals. As it is known to be incurable it is 
only necessary to give the general symptoms, and their speedy 
cure. And for that cure we give: first, a ball of lead forced 
through the brain. 
_ Symptoms.— The lymphatic glands become inflamed and en- 
larged; they sometimes burst and emit a thin, bloody purulent 
discharge, which is poisonous. The nostrils are swollen some 
nd it is most generally the left nostril. The gland called sub- 
maxillary are swollen and are attached to the jaw-bone. They 
m ay appear, and disappear very suddenly. Then there will be 
discharge from the nose. The lining membrane will become 
eaden or copper colored, and there will be ulcers in the nostril, 
and the discharge will sink to the bottom of the pail or trough 
ere he is watered. The above is sufficient to the wise. Hard 
itis to kill a horse in all such cases, as there is money in- 
sted in the animal, yet it is a saving. It may save others of 
ur Own animals, those of your neighbors, and, perhaps, your 
own life. -

by feeding dusty hay, and particularly clover hay that is dusty, 
oats, dry bran, and any bulky feed that has not sufficient nutri- 
ment. There is a double motion of the flanks, and generally 
there is a short, dry, weak, low-sounding cough, a wheezing in 
the throat, and difficult breathing. These occur in paroxysms 
and are due to violent exercise, breathing cold air, and drinking 
cold water. 

Treatment.—Give lime-water in drink, and give the following 
night and morning :

one-quarter ounce of sulphuric ether. This will give temporary 
relief. To cure effectually, trade them for sound horses. 


BIG HEAD. 


This shows itself, by an enlargement, or long tumor, on the 
face, between the nostril and the eye. 

Treatment.—Apply Ryman’s Sure Spavin Cure as directed, 
in all such diseases, and give the following night and morning, 
in a mash:

This disease requires the same treatment in every respect, 

as itis the same as big head. The location only is different, as 
the latter is on the lower jaw. 

INFLAMMATION OF THE KIDNEYS. . 

This disease is often caused by harsh diuretics, which are 


THE HORSEMAN’S PRACTICAL GUIDE. . 33 


) stimulating to the kidneys, such as sweet spirits.of nitre, 
en in too large doses, or too frequent. It is always detri- 
mental, if not dangerous. The pulse is quickened and hard, the 
breathing is short and painful. The horse looks frequently 
owards the seat of pain, the hind legs are straddling, and the 
lorse is tender to the touch when the hand is placed on or 
ver the kidneys. If doubts arise as to the location, grease the 
rm, and insert into the anus slowly. Just forward of the hips 
ress gently upward. Make note of the heat on either side. 
Jo not press hard, as it is very tender. 


Treatment.—Apply the Lightning liniment over the kidneys 
lightly, and cover that part well. Take one quart of warm lin- 
s eed tea and two ounces of laudanum and give by injection every 


hour until relief is obtained. Then, to move the bowels, give

BITE OF A MAD DOG, 
The disease which follows the bite of a mad dog is terrible, | 
and is most fatal in its effects, and is said to be curable if taken 
in time. Having had no experience with it myself, I will not) 
gainsay it. Professor Smith, of Baltimore, says that after fifty 
years of trial, be has never known this oné to fail: 
As soon as possible after the horse has been bitten take al 
stick of caustic, sharpen to a point, and hold in gach wound for 
half a minute, thoroughly cauterizing the wound. Poultice the 
wound for a day or two, then apply several times daily, until the 
wound is healed, the following salve: | 
Warbolic Acid. ey ite wpm (ea nie oo IO grains. |

We would also recommend giving the following three times 
daily : one ounce of aromatic ammonia in one-half pint of water, 
MANGE. | 
This is the common itch, and is mostly found among horses | 
that have been poorly fed and groomed. It is very contagious, 
and spreads by contact. .It is a minute insect, and resembles the 
parasite which troubles the human family. To test the disease 
scratch some of the scurf from among the hair, place it on white 
paper, then place in the warm sun at noon. If mange is present, 
shining points will be seen moving about in all directions.

work must be thoroughly done,) then apply this lotion: q

GENERAL INFORMATION. 


BREEDING. 


This, to be profitable, must be done in such a manner as tose 
cure perfection, as near as possible, in build, soundness, and lon’ 
gevity, or long life. Todo this, the sire and dam must be freé 
from affections. Soundness, free from spavins, ring bones; 
splints, curbs, blindness,.and all other ailments that are liable tc 
be transmitted to the offspring, should be avoided. The way tc 
succeed best is to accustom yourself to learning the practical part, 
by close observation. From the experience of others, that has 
been written up in books, you can learn much; but above all, 
become a practical student of the horse. Study pedigrees, and 
you will learn that the nearer you can approach a thoroughbred 
horse the better animal you will have, for the reason that the 
are longer-lived, they can stand more hardships, are far more 
free from disease than the mongrel horse, which is made up of 
coarser material, and the bones of such, as well as the sinews 
and muscles, are not so fine and solid, consequently they are not 
so strong, and therefore they cannot endure so much. They are) 
also more liable to injury. From this view we recommend that 
for soundness. and practical utility, one should breed to thor- 
oughbred horses. 


TRAINING THE HORSE, 


To train a horse is a greater necessity, to understand thor- 
oughly and practice perfectly, than any other one thing pertain- 
ing to horsemanship. It is a lack of knowing how to train a 
horse that more bad habits are formed in breaking than at any 


(40) oan |

ther period in the life of the horse. All are indebted to Mr 
rey for the best method of breaking and training horses. 
hough improvements have been added to his method, he still 
eserves the credit due him. We therefore give our experience, 
a eeing with the Arabian practice—that of commencing early in 


While a colt, it is more easy to teach them than when they 
become a horse. They learn to have an attachment for those 
around them, so long as they are treated kindly, and are vicious 
to those that mistreat them, showing positively that kindness is 
the controlling power with the Horse, and should be used always, 
with but very few exceptions. And the first, and best lesson you 


Can give is to learn to control yourself, and then you can succeed 


. 


teaching the horse just what you wish toteach him, Never 
yy to teach your horse more than one thing at a time, and do 
1at in such a manner that he will understand you, for as soon as 
e comprehends, he will obey. In regard to haltering the horse, 
many devices have been tried, but none so successful as the early 
handling; but if itso be that the colt has grown to be a horse 
without breaking or training, we recommend Rarey’s theory. 
f course get possession of the horse, in a lot or barn, get the 
alter on him by the best means possible, then put into use the 
ankee bridle, as described—a half-inch cotton rope from twelve 
> sixteen feet long. Use in one end about sixteen inches to 
rm a loop that will not slip; in the other end use twenty-four or 
irty inches to make another loop. These loops should be large 
nough that the larger one will pass around the neck, and the 
maller one around the lower jaw, so that you can use it as you 
lay wish. If to curb the neck, the large loop around the neck, 
he rope passed through the mouth, and back through the loop 
n the neck. When the small loop is used, put it around the 
wer jaw, over the neck of the horse from the right side, and 
k to the small loop around the lower jaw. Here are two 
nciples ; one, a steady pressure upon the lower jaw because it 
is stationary ; the other is friction, because the rope is slipping 
ough the mouth. Inconnection use the knee-strap, to fasten 
‘one fore Root, and a good girth witharing underneath. With 


42 THE HORSEMAN’S PRACTICAL GUIDE. 


and a rope or strip to reach from the ring in the girth to the 
collar, or around the neck, you have all the requisites for break- 
ing and training, unless you might, in a few cases, need a whip. 
To become an expert in this science, you must practice and use 
the best judgment possible. For example, to throw or lay a horse 
down, place the knee-strap on the left fore leg, put onthe girth, 
put a long strap under the girth, and fasten one end to the fet- | 
lock of the right fore foot, with your right hand take hold of the 
long strap, and with the left hand take hold of the bit upon the | 
left side, then cause the horse to move, and with the right hand 
take up the right foot, which will bring him to his knees; next | 
place your shoulder against that of the horse, and draw his head 
around to you, and in a short. time he will lay over on his right | 
side, then fasten him securely, from the bit to the right hind 
foot, and you are ready to treat him as you wish. You there | 
teach him submission, and that you will not hurt him, caressing | 
him for every act of obedience, and in every lesson of whatever | 
kind, use the great principle—kindness. Andas the controller, use | 
the Yankee bridle for kicking, halter-pulling, and every trait you | 
wish to teach him, and as you only, know just how and what you | 
want to teach your horse, you must use your judgment, keeping 

yourself under perfect self-control, and in complying with the | 
above instructious, you will succeed. : 


FOR BREAKING AND TRAINING. 


To break a horse from pulling on the halter, have a strap _ 
long enough to pass from the halter through the hitching place : 
on the manger, back to the right hind foot at the fetlock. A fog | 
pulls with that hitch on, will effectually break him. a

FOR A RUNAWAY HORSE. 


Place the large loop over the horse’s neck, pass the rope 
‘through his mouth, and back through the loop on his neck. 
You now pull sharply upon the cord. This sets the horse back, 
‘and causes the mouth to become tender. You then go behind” 
him, pulling quick upon the cord. Handle him several times in 
is ies before you harness him, He will soon yield to the 


ee into the wagon. Should he attempt to run, use the ropes 
fastened to the foot and the mouth, and he will stop readily 
‘enough. 


CONCLUSION. 


- Inconclusion on this subject, I will say, that the best man- 
or of training, as first stated in this theory, is to commence 
ith the colt. You can then teach it gentleness, never having to 
esort to any harshness, handling its feet, leading, following you, 
or, anything that you wish to teach it, that is common for a horse 
earn. And I again urge you to keep in mind the fact that 
ness is the law that governs in most instances.
