Meanwhile the poorhorse, with wild eyes and shaking flanks, is nearly paralysedwith fear. Thus the punishment, and so-called schooling,goes on. The next day, a boy being put up, with a manto help on, the poor horse jumps simply to escape the pun-ishment. He hates the sight of a runway, and of hismaster as well. See him in the hunting-field a month or two later, withwild eyes and restless air. When hounds go away he is asif crazy: rushes his fences; goes on; gets a thrashing forrefusing; jumps this fence; expects a thrashing and spurs atthe next as a part of the programme, but smashes into it.For this he gets a whack as he lands. He grows worseand worse. His owner can hardly hold him by the curb.At the next fence he takes off too soon, landing on his headon the opposite side,while his rider goes to grass. In how likely a condition will this poor brute be to be-come a good hunter ! It is a shame that man has thepower so to abuse and ruin the happiness of a dumb brute.Text Appearing After Image:Schooling Hunters 67 Does reason say we can ever make a hunter of such ahorse ? We may make a jumper of him, but between sucha horse and the one I previously described there is animpassable gulf. They are not to be mentioned in thesame class at all. Look at the two horses going homeafter a run to hounds—one sad, melancholy, unhappy;the other cheerfully tired, bright, and contented. Will a horse schooled by the system herein recom-mended never make a mistake ? Certainly he will; but hewill not blame his rider for it. He is as eager to followthe game as the rider is. The other horse would stop atthe first fence and go home if he could. In one you havea boon companion, in the other a poor dumb slave. Inhunting there is, or should exist, a partnership betweenrider and horse. The rider should make himself so agree-able to the horse that the horse will never object to therelationship. A good hunter is one that answers to the hand readily,has a good mouth, does not rush or bolt his fences,Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
