You Know What Thought Did Wet the Bed
I accept just replied to a post about cutting out difficult feed by quoting an sometime saying I remembered.
Which in turn, made me remember a wonderful elderly man (RIP), an absolute font of a lifetime's feel with horses, the sort of person yous would go to for domicile made remedies etc.
I had the priviledge of excercising his horses when he was finally incapable and he always said to me .......
"always smack him three times, one time for what he's washed and twice for what he might do"
LOL - I gauge we have all moved on from that now with behavioural agreement, simply is there any other "old fashioned" sayings/quotes that y'all retrieve?
Just for nostalgias sake
ETA: LOL - that makes me sound aboriginal! - honestly I am just a "whipper snapper" actually
OMG - I am replying to myself !!!
Just to add that ... do you know/remember what a "whipper snapper" was?
When you were naughty as a kid, your admonishing parent would make you cut a "whippy stick" from the hedge which was used to whip you with!!"!
LOL - how times have changed
I am in Hungary and in childrens CHristmas stockings, too as chocolates, they go a brach of tree to whip them with if they are naughty!!!!!!
spare the rod spoil the child (on the subject of punishment)

Quite a long i- copied from a book I literally take on my lap seeing what to exercise nearly Tallys acrimony management issues looking in a very old volume.
'Taming Vicious Horses'
Commencement provide yourself with a stout leathern halter, strong iron staple and a hammer. Having haltered the horse laissez passer the rope carefully downward through the staple, remebering this course of animal is very cunning, attacks you instantly and often without warning. Pass the rope through the staple ii or 3 farther times and so the horses head is in a favourable position. You now have him fast and totally in your power. This should enrage him. He will struggle fiercely to go loose. Stand by with hammer in paw and ensure staple doesn't get loose. If it continues to get loose observe a stronger pivot or pulley to the rafters. Go on him in that location some time. But now may you lot open the door, dexterously tie up a foreleg. Put in his mouth a wooden bit, 8 inches long and atleast one.5inches diameter, this will stop him biting you. Slacken the rope. He will hop around the stable on 3 legs. If he stops striking him. Go along him moving for 20 minutes. At present he is thourougly exhusted and will be quieter. Don't take the bit out of his oral cavity but let his foreleg down. Slap him firmly in the ribs to ensure he has got upwards. The fierce expression volition at present have dissapeared. He will at present obey yous for the twenty-four hours, don't allow anyone handle him for a calendar week. To fully tame him echo 2 or 3 times a twenty-four hour period for three weeks. Leave the halter on then he tin can exist drawn upwards anywhere. He will now practise anything for yous.
LOL - Rara - that sounds just like a Monty Roberts demo !!!

HollyCat - what an excellent thought - I think I might include a branch in my own children'south stockings
I was tempted to include a branch in my naughty kittens Christmas stockings. Found suitable looking implement in pet store! Yet, despite present being hidden in my knicker drawer kittens found present and deceided piffling leather tassles on cease of stick (for smacking I firmly told them) were in fact for pouncing and playing with No fooling the kittens I am agape!

One white foot, buy a horse; ii white feet, try a horse; iii white feet, look well about him; four white anxiety, exercise without him.

'Taming Vicious Horses'
First provide yourself with a stout leathern halter, strong iron staple and a hammer. Having haltered the horse laissez passer the rope carefully downward through the staple, remebering this class of animal is very cunning, attacks you instantly and often without warning. Laissez passer the rope through the staple ii or 3 further times so the horses head is in a favourable position. You at present take him fast and totally in your power. This should enrage him. He will struggle fiercely to go loose. Stand by with hammer in hand and ensure staple doesn't get loose. If it continues to get loose find a stronger pivot or pulley to the rafters. Keep him in that location some fourth dimension. Only now may yous open up the door, dexterously tie up a foreleg. Put in his mouth a wooden chip, viii inches long and atleast 1.5inches bore, this will stop him biting you. Slacken the rope. He will hop around the stable on three legs. If he stops hit him. Keep him moving for twenty minutes. Now he is thourougly exhusted and will be quieter. Don't take the bit out of his mouth but let his foreleg down. Slap him firmly in the ribs to ensure he has got up. The fierce expression will at present have dissapeared. He volition now obey you for the day, don't let anyone handle him for a week. To fully tame him repeat ii or 3 times a day for 3 weeks. Get out the halter on so he can exist drawn up anywhere. He will now do annihilation for you.

I know this as "don't cast a clout til May is out"! My Nana (RIP) used to say it and now Mum does. Plain a "clout" was a layer of fat and feathers people wore in winter, though I've never been able to confirm that! Great saying though.
"A run up in fourth dimension saves ix" is another good i, still very true besides
Ooh Arabelle, It must of gone up as I was told to add a republic of guinea every time a horse rolled right over.....
If the wind changes, your face'll stay similar that.
For desire of a smash a shoe was lost,
For desire of a shoe a equus caballus was lost,
For want of a equus caballus a battle was lost,
For want of a battle a state of war was lost.
All for the want of a horse shoe boom.
