I didn't see why I shouldn't train him a little while he was young and manageable.

I think it is cruel to let colts run till one has to employ severity in mastering them.

Of course, I did not let him do much work.

Colts are like boys a boy shouldn't do a man's work, but he had exercise every day, and I trained him to draw a light cart behind him.

I used to do all kinds of things to accustom him to unusual sounds.
