| Summary | "Illustrated Horse Breaking" by Capt. M. Horace Hayes is a practical manual on the art of horse breaking written in the late 19th century. The book outlines a systematic approach to training horses, aiming to make them obedient and manageable through a blend of kindness, effective techniques, and an understanding of equine behavior. It is particularly aimed at trainers, handlers, and enthusiasts of horse riding and management. The opening of the work presents the author's intent and the theoretical foundation upon which the methods described in the book are built. Hayes emphasizes the importance of controlling a horse not just through force but also through understanding its psychology and employing humane techniques that build trust. He discusses various problems that horses may exhibit, how these can often be attributed to either learned behaviors or fear, and outlines his comprehensive approach to remedying these faults while educating the animal in a manner that promotes obedience and gentleness. The early chapters focus on establishing control, communication, and the foundations necessary for developing a “good mouth,” setting the stage for more advanced training techniques later in the book.
