following can judge of the value of these notes for themselves :

Jumpers.

Nearly every horse can be trained to jump, I believe. Of course there are exceptions, but undoubtedly a horse which has been bred by the breaker, and known and loved him since foaled, Is the easiest to school.

Any remarks I am now making are to be understood to have reference to the schooling of hunters. I will briefly refer to show-jumpers later, but It Is an art apart, of which I know little, and care almost less.

All training for jumping is better conducted by interesting the animal in what you wish to teach It than by forcing it to learn it by punishment. No animal, including man, puts forth its best efforts under compulsion or through fear of punishment. There are two " schools " of training jumpers^—the single-rein school and the double. Many good men swear by each, so I do not presume to recommend either, but personally I prefer the single rein, as savouring less of compulsion.

In the single-rein method, all that is required Is a cavesson or head-collar and a long rope, or, better still, a web rein. The rope or rein should be thirty or forty yards
