Together, with the discouery of the subtill trade or mistery of horse-coursers, & an explanatio[n] of the excellency of a horses vndersta[n]ding, or how to teach them to doe trickes like Bankes his curtall: and that horses may be made to drawe drie-foot like a hound.

short●kt courser aboue two yeares with the Cauezan and ●ine cannon yet brought him to little better per●ion then at the first day of his backing when the ●e Horse being brought to the moste famous ●leman worthy all praise-ful memorie Maister ●mas Story of Greenewich was by him in lesse then ●e halfe yeare made the moste principall best doing ●se which came vpon the Black-heath and myselfe at ●t instant riding with him did so diligently obserue ●th his art his reasons his practise that euen from ●t man and that Horse I drew the foundation and ●ound of my after practise Finding in the vse of the Cauezan so much insufficiencie losse of time and libertie to disorder that I dare confidently maintaine it is neither the best nor second way to bring a horse to perfection if thē I shal be questioned what I doe prefer before the Cauezā as the first instrumēt to bring a horse both to beauty obediēce my answere absolutely is the Musrole and the Martingale which how euer it be either vnassayde or vnremembred in the Italian or French practise yet Iam well assured it is of much better effect hath brought foorth moe better examples of perfect arte then they haue either deliuered vs in their writinges or wee haue beheld in their practise But in asmuch as no man hath writ against it I will imagine all men hold with it and not goe about to defend what none in the Arte I think wil impugne The Musrole therefore would be made after the fashion of the writhen Cauezan onelye it should bee all of one peece after the fashion of this figure The Musrole This Musrole must be couered with strong leather and a buckle at one end to buckle vnder the Horses chaps like the nose-band of a brydle then must a ●s-stall be ioyned vnto it to goe ouer the Horses ●d As touching the Martingale it would be made ●verye stronge leather with two buckels a foote ●ant one from another after the fashion of this fi●e ●his Martingale must haue the shorter end thereof ●led to the Garthes vnder the Horses bodie and so ●ght betweene his fore-legges to his head and the ●er end buckled to the nose-band of the Musrole ●r the Horses neather chaps ●he vse of this Musrole and Martingale is to keepe ●ine and firme a Horses head from tossing shaking ●hing or such like Antick countenances it rayseth ●e necke bringeth in the head and fashioneth the ●e it keepeth a Horse from plunging rearing ●e or running away and to conclude doth 〈◊〉 good office and breedeth that tractabilitie in 〈◊〉 daies albe with a meane Horseman which the ●ezan or the Chayne will hardly effect though 〈◊〉 the best Artes-maister in two monthes so that I ●lude and dare without ostentation or ambition ●ose my selfe against any man of contrarie opini● to make my Horse sooner and more certaine with Musrole Martingale then he with the Chaine or Cauezan how euer his estimation doe precede my fortune and obscuritie The place or seate for the Musrole is vppon the strength and midde part of the Horses nose vnder his eyes more then a handfull and aboue the tender grisle about some two inches or there abouts Grison from whome all Horse-men and all nations haue taken a greate light both of their Art and immitatiō seemeth to giue the least allowāce to these chieflye the Martingale which hee esteemeth as a correction and therefore dooth limmite the vse to certaine perticular and necessarie times and not to anye generall benefit the reason whereof I holde onely to bee this Euangelista who was the first inuentor thereof vsing it alwaies to correct such horses as would reare vpright and flye ouer and ouer Grison not willing to bee beholden to any mans practise but his owne not proouing the other benefits was vtterlye ignorant of the vertues this for which it was inuēted being the least of al other so like one of our old Bel-founders that neuer knew how to melt his mettall but by the force of a payre of Bellowe● thought it impossible that the new inuented furnaces should bring any profit but had our Maister Gryson once put it in practise I doe not thinke eyther chaine or Cauezan wold haue held with him any estimation Now for the Musrole that hee commendeth exceedingly and to speake truelie it deserueth all his commendations and this shall suffice touching the knowledge and vse of the cauezon CHAP. 3. How to make a Colt gentle how to bring him to the blocke and of the first Bridle and Saddle I Did in my first Treatise of hors-man-ship which I writ many yeares since for sleight tastes or essayes to season the knowledge of a young Gentleman my most especiall friend deer ●man set downe a method how to tame and make ●tle a Colt being come to full age fitte to weare a ●dle as namely of three yeares and seuen Mo●s or at foure yeares at the most at which time his ●ts will be knit his strength compleate and his ●erstanding fit to intertaine instruction and both of ●phon Grison Baptista la Broue and all hors-men ●ght the time most conuenient and in the self same ●on I still confidently doe continue which was 〈◊〉 hauing housed your colt and with good strength 〈◊〉 helpe got a chase haltar made of strong Hempe 〈◊〉 the reine aboue three fadome long at the least 〈◊〉 the gentlest meanes that may be vpon his heade ●n you offer to lead him forth if he offer as it is ●st likely he will either to leape plunge or runne a● that then with strong and sharpe twitches you ●e his necke and maister his head in such sort that ●e ende the smallest straine of your hand may bee ●cient to bring him backe and inforce him to obe●e This mastring of his head with the halter brings him to feare and obey the man make him tender to all other corrections and assures his keeper when he shal leade him in his hand or bring him to his rider But if he be so stubborne that he refuse to leade and onely hangeth backe then let some standers by vrge
