“the two horses liked each other.” He kept them side by side injtie stalls. ££ ,•
“Don’t let anybody tell you you can pi&fe any two horses together and run ’em,” Keyser warns, before breaking into a grin. “They mn all right, and be kickin’ too.”
Keyser says he works a horse or a team of horses “three or four days at a time. They’ve gotta work at least three days so they don’t forget it,” he says.
“They’re just like a person,” he continues. “If he’s taught to tie a fancy knot once and doesn’t do it again for another week, he won’t learn.”
Keyser likes to break a horse “single” at first, he says, before working a team. He’ll put the lines on, set the gear, then stand behind to drive, giving verbal and harness commands. Only three words are spoken, simultaneously with harness: “Gee,” which means turn right; “haw,” for left; and “woe,” for stop and come up.
“A colt’s just like a kid,” Keyser notes. “You shouldn’t say no more than three to four words or you’ll get ’em flustered.”
