"Tachyhippodamia; Or, The New Secret of Taming Horses" by Willis J. Powell is a practical guide on horse taming and training written in the late 19th century. This work provides detailed techniques on how to break and ride colts, tame vicious horses, and transform them into gentle, manageable animals suitable for various tasks. It combines personal anecdotes with practical advice, offering insights into the author's experiences in the field. The opening portion of the text introduces the author’s unique methods of breaking horses, derived from his extensive experience working with wild horses in Mexico and the southern United States. Powell describes the journey of discovering a secret technique that allows him to gentler horses in a matter of hours, emphasizing the importance of gentleness, patience, and building trust between the handler and the horse. He outlines his early experiments, shared his observations on horse behavior, and explains the role of fear and confidence in taming them. Throughout the introduction, he reflects on the cultural context of his work and his desire to share his insights with his fellow countrymen. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
