Ii you want your horse or your servant to
work well, you must endeavor to make them
happy; happiness increases the strength and en-
ergies Of both, and unhappiness diminishes them
When you find either of them weak in any par
ticular point, do not press and harass the weak
ness, but show it indulgence. DO not urge either
of them to do more than they are well able, as
the more they compelled to do to-day the less
they will do to morrow. When you find your
horse begin 10 slacken his speed, do not reckless


y compel him to maintain it. but think how
you yourself would like to be thus urged ON
beyond your strength. Do not worry your horse
by repeated whip strokes, as every blow robs
the animal of some of its strength, and conrin-
ua blows rob it also of the motives to exertion
by the violence of the strokes on the skin. and
also affect the muscles underneath on which the
motions depend. II any person doubts this
slight blow on his arm or leg will soon convince
him OF the truth. II you have two horses work
ing together, and one horse is slower or weaker
than the other, do not force it to do as much as
the other, but rather slacken the speed if even it
is done by keeping the other horse back; and never
use bearing reins, they are useless to the driver,
vexatious to the horse, and are the cause Of many
falls; but above all, be not too fond Of showing
them that you are their master and they your
slaves; they know it well enough to their sor,
row without this trouble,
