Excerpt from Every Man His Own Horse Doctor: Or the True Way of Handling Horses The Author of this book was born in the town of Lyons, Ionia County, Michigan, in the year of our Lord 1841, and when at the age of twelve years he lived neighbor to a man who had a span of very ugly colts: in fact, they were so bad there was scarcely any one in the town who would go into the yard where they were. Boy as he was, he made up his mind to break these colts; and he used to go some half a mile back in the field to an old barn where the colts ran, and, all alone by himself, he would get them into the barn and train them. After he had trained them about a month, one day he was standing by when the owner of the colts remarked to one of his neighbors that "he would give twenty-five dollars if he could get some one to break his colts, and would board them while they were doing it." The boy spoke up and said "what will you give me to break your colts for you?" The man laughed at him, and told him that he would "give him a silver dollar if he would just go into the old barn and drive them out." "Done!" said the boy. They started for the barn, and when they got there the boy got over into the yard and spoke to the colts; they both came up to him and he took one of them by the foretop, led him into the barn and the other followed immediately after. On entering the barn he raised a board from the floor, took out his father's old plough-harness and put it upon the colts and drove them all around the yard and from there to the house. He then hitched them to a sleigh and invited the owner to have a ride. "No," said he, "they will run away and break my neck and yours too. "I will risk that," said the boy. "I have driven them every day all winter, up in the back lot; and I have drawn six and seven rails at a time with them, around in the edge of the woods where you could not see me." "Well," said the man, "if that is the case, I will get in and see how they go." The man rode one mile and back, and then he told the boy that "he would give him the twenty-five dollars and ten dollars beside, if he would drive them two weeks." He did so, and before that time had expired the women could drive them as well as any one. From that day on, he was always training and handling horses and studying the nature of that noble animal, the horse, and trying to find out what was the most natural for him. Ugly horses were his favorites; but within the past few years he has given up traveling or training horses, and has deemed it best to write a small pamphlet for the use of horse dealers and the public in general.
