Mr Lnttroll, writing about his hunting experiences, recalls an amazing performance at a meet of a young fanner on a, horse with no saddle or bridle, and not even a halter. “I naturally thought that he wouldn’t attempt to follow hounds when they moved off, but to my surprise ho trotted quietly along with the field, and when hounds found and ran a big ring over the famous Dauntsey Vale he rode the lino religiously, and was well up with the hounds all the_ way. He had a short stick, with which he guided the horse, and he appeared to have complete control of the horse; in fact, a great deal more control than had some other members of tho field. I was told that he had trained this horse as a colt to dispense with a bridle, and that now the horse will follow him like a dog, and can ho controlled by his voice quite as well as if he had a bridle on him. This sounds like a fairy story but I can i vouch for the truth of it. -
