The long rope is exactly what Mr. Rarey recommends for teaching a colt to lead. Every one of any experience will agree that a horse that has once pulled on his halter can never be so well broken as one that has never pulled at all.

The directions for stroking and patting the body and limbs of a colt are curious, as proving that an operation which we have been in the habit of performing as a matter of course without attaching any particular virtue to it, has really a sort of mesmeric effect in soothing and conciliating a nervous animal. The directions in Chapter V. for approaching a colt deserve to be studied very minutely, remembering always the maxim printed at Fear and anger, a good horseman should never feel.
