Curb, Snaffle, and Spur

Excerpt from Curb, Snaffle, and Spur: A Method of Training Young Horses, for the Cavalry Service, and for General Use Under the Saddle This little work has been written especially with a view of presenting a method of training horses for the use of mounted soldiers; but there is nothing herein recommended that would not be important, if not absolutely necessary, for the education of any horse intended for the saddle. How long it would take to carry a horse through the course I have laid down would depend upon the age, strength, and disposition of each horse. The lessons might extend from the time the colt is weaned until it is four years old ; or a strong three-year-old, with two short lessons daily, might be thoroughly trained in three months.
