Illustrated Horse Breaking

"Illustrated Horse Breaking" by Capt. M. Horace Hayes is a guide from the late 1800's on how to train horses, teaching readers how to make horses listen and behave well using gentle methods and knowing how horses act. It's for those who train, handle, or just love riding and taking care of horses. Hayes shows why it's important to control horses by being kind and understanding them, not just by using force, and explains how to earn their trust. He talks about common horse problems, like bad habits or fears, and gives ways to fix these by teaching horses to be obedient and gentle. The first parts of the book teach how to take charge, talk to horses, and get them ready for harder training, especially focusing on training the horse's mouth.
