Moreover, when the horse is shy of anything and will not come near it, you
						should teach him that there is nothing to be afraid of, either with the help
						of a plucky horse—which is the surest way—or else by touching the object
						that looks alarming yourself, and gently leading the horse up to it. To force him with blows only increases his terror; for when horses feel pain
						in such a predicament, they think that this too is caused by the thing at
						which they shy.
