Show How to Ise the Whip. With a very free horse it is desirable to cautiously accustom him to tho sound and feel of tho whip lightly drawn across him so ns not to hurt him at all, says an experienced horseman. This will prevent him from running whenever you take tho whip in hand, and wake it possible to touch up a slug by hi side. A slow, easy-going hoi-se, on the other hand, should never feel the whip unless to hurt him. Ladies j and tender-hearted drivers often do j great mischief to such horses by constantly con-stantly flicking at them until the horse cares no more for the whip than he does for his tail. With s'.ich horses a pretty heavy whip should bo used, and often used, but so that they feel it and know what it means. A horse that will not move and move quickly to tho whip is neither pleasant nor safe. |
