Training and

Breaking Appliances

A Set of Appliances Perfected by Twenty
Years of Breaking and Training Horses
of All Types and Habits. Also a Few
Words from Those Who Have Used Them

PROF. JESSE

The Beery

Breaking Appliances

THE KIND I USED

HE DEMAND for Training and Breaking Appliances has
T been so constant for many years and especially from those
who have seen my work or have taken my Course in cor-
respondence, that I have prepared to supply the best and most per-
fect appliances made.
Knowing that in my twenty years experience of handling the
most vicious horses with all the habits that could be conceived of, I
would necessarily have to have appliances that would hold in the
most testing and dangerous circumstances, many want appliances
"just like I used." Now if I should send just the kind I used
for the first five or even ten years of my experience, they would
be as cumbersome and unhandy, and as likely to fail at the critical
time as a set you would attempt to make or have made.
The fact is the appliances I offer you have cost me years of ex-
perimenting, hundreds of dollars, and lessons learned by hundreds of
narrow escapes. I know what it means to have a weak part to break
when you needed it so badly. I have had that to happen when work-
ing a vicious stallion. I know what it means to have a buckle tear
out or rip off. I have had that to happen just at the time to turn
victory into defeat.
I know what the aggravation is of having a rope so stiff that
it would hardly bend after being wet. I have been disappointed
when taking a colt out of the stable to find that the foot straps hadl
so irritated the skin that the horse was hardly in shape to work.
I have been annoyed many times to find a horse's knees skinned be-
cause the knee pads had slipped out of their place.
Many nights I have lain awake thinking of some improvement
in the appliances I might make to prevent a repetition of previous
failures. Thus year by year the improvements went on, the weak
place being strengthened, the stiff hard parts being padded at the
proper place to prevent irritation; the most pliable ropes being used
so that frctiop vas reduced to the minimum.
2

To make a long story short, I can say that the last five years
of my work traveling and giving exhibitions, my applainces were
changed but little, for they were so nearly perfect.
When you want appliances "just like I used," I do not send
those I began with, but those like I used that last five years of my
twentv. I am not only giving you the best leather and workman-
ship; but give you also the advantage of twenty years experience
with all kinds of horses and often under the most unexpected con-
ditions.
WHAT THE OUTFIT CONSISTS OF.
1. Surcingle. One continuous piece reinforced where needed.
Extra heavy. Double the entire length and sewed.
2. Knee Pads. Extra heavy leather. Will last a lifetime.
3. Foot straps. Lined with calfskin, Buckle guards prevent chafing.
4. Safety rope. Special grade always pliable. Very strong.
5. Throwing halter. Extra strong. Adjustable.
6. Bridle Attachment. Beery Bit with snaps to fasten to Halter.
7. I)ouble Backband and Crupper. Two strong double straps.
8. Guyline and Throwing Strap. Extra quality, heavy strap 16
feet long.
9. Shaft Carriers. Best material, extra heavy.
10. Belly Band. Double and stitched, extra heavy.
ii. Breeching. Extra strong, scalloped turnback.
12. Hip Straps. Heavy flat leather, snapped to Dee in back strap.
SURCINGLE.
The surcingle is made of a good heavy grade of leather. It is
acljustal)le on both sides, thus making it capable of fitting the largest
horse or the smallest pony. It is well padded to prevent any irri-
tation of a horse's back. It has rings properly placed and well
fastened through which the safety ropes or the throwing strap passes.
These rings are so fastened that they cannot tear loose. The back
straps and crupper and shaft holders are easily-attached, also side
rings through which the lines pass. There is no need arises where
a surcingle can be used but this one fills the need.
THE KNEE PADS.
Three important requirements of
knee pads are that they be well made;
that they fit the knee and never
slip from their place. The knee
- i t _..4 _ pads required my attention for a
longer time than any other part of my-
3

appliances. I have them so perfect that they fit the knee and will
not slip down or to the side and are so padded that a horse's leg is
not rubbed by the straps. You need never fear that the knee pads
will not be in their place and protect the knees when handling the
most vicious horses.
THE FOOT STRAPS.
The foot straps are my own special pattern and
are one of the most necessary parts of the appliances. A
I have learned that it is not the amount of padding,
but where it is placed that makes it worth anything upI
to prevent rubbing. These foot straps are paddedl
right so they will not rub a horse's pastern.
The foot straps fit the horse's leg just below the pastern joint
and are used with the safety rope as it is used either single or (loul)le.
They are also used to prevent a horse from jumping fences or paw-
ing in the stall.

THE BEERY APPLIANCES IN ACTION.

This photograph was taken while the Springfield Stallion was
resisting being thrown. He fought the appliances hard with all the
muscle, strength and agility he had. The appliances won, and he
was brought under perfect subjection as indicated by the photograph
on the next page.

AFTER THE USE OF THE APPLIANCES.

This stallion had been uncontrollable around automobiles, etc.
After being subdued by the Beery appliances, he listened more to
the driver's voice than to the noise of the automobile. He had tried
his strength against man's strength and won. He then pitted his
strength against man's inventive genius and lost. He acknowledged
man's superiority

THE DOUBLE SAFETY ROPE.
The Greatest Means of Control Ever Devised.
The Double Safety Rope is the best grade of cotton rope. It
is just as pliable after being wet as before. It always works with-
out friction. This is essential so that a horse hardly knows when
they are on and does not realize when they are taken off. It will
put the strongest horse on his knees and hold him there without the
least fear of breaking. I tried hemp, sisal and other ropes, but
all were too harsh to work easily in the rings. Straps twisted and
broke. I once paid 3.00 to have a piece of sash cord covered with
doghide, thinking that I would now have the perfect rope, but I
used it once or twice and it was worn out. Almost by accident I
happened to get a special extra grade of cotton rope that fit my pur-
pose exactly. Since but few manufacturers make this special grade
and scarcely any dealers keep it in stock, I always keep it in stock
and never send any other kind with my appliances.
5

THE ADJUSTABLE HALTER.

This halter is made adjustable with buckles on both sides. It
will fit any horse's head. The head stall is extra strong with good
brow band and throat latch. The nose piece is adjustable both in
front of the nose and back of the jaw.

CAN BE PUT ON IN PARTS.
Any horse that has been spoiled for haltering
or bridling can be easily haltered and bridled with
this halter. It is made so that it can be put on in
parts by buckling around the neck, then placing the
nose piece around the head below the eyes and
buckling. Horses that would not allow anything
slipped over the nose may pay no attention to a strap buckled just
below the eyes and dropped to its proper place. The throat latch
is then buckled and the brow band having been pushed to the side,
can be carefully pulled over the ears and the horse has a halter on
his head without knowing it.
Rings are fastened in each side into which bit straps are fast-
ened and you have a strong bridle.
One of my attachable Beery Bits goes with this halter so that
it can be changed in an instant from a halter to a bridle. This is
used for horses mean to halter or bridle, and is made strong enough
to be used with halter pullers or strap breakers.

DOUBLE BACK BAND AND CRUPPER ATTACHMENT.
The crupper attachment is arranged with
Double Back Bands, each of which has snaps to
be snapped into two rings in the back part of the
surcingle. The crupper is necessary in throwing
a horse to prevent the surcingle slipping forward.
There are rings attached at the proper places to
snap a bunch of pans or anything you desire to use in thoroughly
testing a horse. By being so easily and quickly snapped on, a kicker
can quickly be harnessed without danger.

GUY LINE AND THROWING STRAP.
This is an extra strong strap
sixteen feet long. It has two
rings near the end which has
a snap in it. The two rings
_J_ .... ;_ jJ1; make the strap fit any size
horse.

This Guy line is very effective, when lproperly used, with balkers
and stubborn horses, or shyers.
This same Guy line is used as a Throwing-Strap.
A snap is in the opposite end from the end used as a Guy line.
Pass the snap through the right front ring of the surcingle through
the ring of the halter then back and snap to the left front ring of
the surcingle. This causes the pull on the surcingle to come just
opposite the fastenings of the back straps keeping the surcingle in
its place. A pull on the strap overbalances a horse and the size and
weight does not make him any more difficult to throw.
This device is abso-
,b2.Al lutely necessary to gain
ARNOW, the mastery of a horse.
Nothing so causes a horse
to lose confidence in his
strength as to be thrown.

THE CORRECT SHAFT HOLDERS.

The shaft carriers are made so that the shafts can slip through
them easy. Any shaft holder that does not allow the shaft to slip
through easily causes the back to become sore and likely to leave
white spots, saying nothing about the pain and torture to the horse.
When the shaft holders do not allow the shaft to slip easily, a horse
can soon be spoiled by being pricked in the shoulders by a shaft point
that has failed to slip through. It is not always convenient to walk
around the horse and release the shafts.
WVith these shaft holders
all danger is eliminated. An
extra strong lellyband goes ;
with them. It has a buckle
to adjust it to the size of the
horse and a good snap in
the end to fasten it quickly when hitching up. The shaft holders
are arranged to fasted quickly to the surcingle.

THE BREECHING AND HIP STRAPS.

The Breeching and Hip Straps are made of good strong mate-
rial. The hip straps are adjustable and are attached by snaps to
the back band.

PRICE OF APPLIANCES.
Sometimes I am asked to sell the first four pieces (the Surcingle,
Knee Pads, Foot Straps and Safety Rope.) for the elimination of cer-
tain habits.
The price of this group when ordered alone is -10.00
The price of the remaining eight picees ordered alone is- 12.50
The price of both groups when ordered separately is - 22.50
If you order the entire outfit at one time, the price is -- 20.00
And besides I will make you a present of a Leg Strap, a
Pulley Breaking Bridle and an extra Beery Bit.

THE BEERY BIT.
PATENTED NOVEMBEFt IS-. 190+.

YEW 41 ...So 11i
ERJ; L FOR
VERy SEVER (p IDE REINERS /
The above cuts illustrate the four different adjustments, all made by
changing the manner of fasteni the IUes.

The Beery Bit (Four in One) is the greatest bit on the market
today. It is easy for both horse and driver. Easy on the horse's
mouth and easy for the driver to keep control. It is the only
8

bit that can be set to have severe action and be easy when the lines
are relaxed.
The first cut represents the arrangement for an easy bit. The
lines are attached to both the large and small rings.
The second cut (a powerful bit) shows the lines fastened only
in the small rings. This allows the larger rings to press against the
mouth and gives a powerful leverage on the bars of the bit.
The third cut (very severe) the lines are attached to the front
of the bit including both rings. This attachment is especially fitting
for a shyer or kicker. You will notice that the back of the bit hits
the jaws at a sensitive place. By a sudden jerk on one side, or
cracking him on first one side then on the other, his attention is at-
tracted to his jaw so quickly that his attention is taken from the
thought of kicking or shying.
The last cut (for side reiners) is hitched severe on one side and
easy on the other. This entirely prevents side pulling.
After once using this bit you will never use any other. It is
adaptable to so many uses and never lacerates a horse's mouth.

LEG STRAP.
The Leg Strap is made particularly to fasten the front foot to
the surcingle when attempting to throw a horse.

PULLEY BREAKING BRIDLE.
This Pulley Breaking Bridle, is a wonder. It is simple but
mighty. The Bridle will not injure, but is severe in its action. It
is not its strength that makes it powerful, but the nerves that it
controls. It presses upon the spinal chord just back of the ears and
the most sensitive nerves of the mouth.
It cannot injure a horse, but it does control him. By its use the
most stubborn horse can be taught to lead, or the most vicious stal-
lion made obedient.
It so keeps the horse's attention that any sore can be doctored.
It makes him submissive to be shod or have his feet handled in any
way. You will find so many uses for it that you will wonder how
you got along without it.
All of these parts make a complete breaking appliance. There is
no habit so bad nor any horse so strong but that it can be handled
by these appliance. Every part is so easily adjusted and arranged
so complete and convenient that the fastening of a few snaps puts
a horse completely under your absolute control.

SAVES TIME AND TROUBLE.

When working a horse with bad habits or a colt just being trained,
you can fasten him so quiclky and easily that he can give you no
trouble.
The first attempt is the
time to give the most im-
pressive lesson and this can
_.. h i P =be done without cruelty
and yet effectively with
these appliances. A few
minutes work with them proves to any one that their value can be
saved many times in training their own colts, or a few vicious horses.
There is not a bad habit that cannot be managed with this set
of appliances. They are so handy that any habit can be dealt with
in an instant-When a horse changes its tactics the parts are there
to catch him in the act.
The Appliances are made of excellent leather and after pat-
terns that fit.
Many of my students are harness makers and they, realizing
the necessity of the shape and padding to be correct, order their ap-
pliances of me rather than attempt to make them themselves.

TRANSFORMS A DANGEROUS BRONCO TO A GENTLE
FARM HORSE.

PROF. JESSE BEERY, SCOTLAND, S. DAKOTA.
R. R. No. 2
PLEASANT HILL, OHIO.
DEAR SIR:-The appliances purchased of you have been re-
ceived and I am well satisfied. I have had good luck with a broncho
which I bought two years ago. I thought I could break her, so I
got a surcingle made and ropes and straps of one kind and another
and finally got her so I could work her some, but with no satisfaction.
I had to use a strap to hitch the tugs and then look out that I didn't
get kicked, because she would watch her chance to hit a fellow.
But now I have given her a course that she couldn't get the best
of. I now have her so I can hitch and unhitch her just like any
other horse. I have put in 100 acres of oats and plowed 30 acres
of corn and she has workled every (lay. I couldn't have got along
without your Course and Appliances and thank you very much for
them.
Yours truly,
E. R. FOWKES.

Prof. Jesse Beery,
Dear Sir:-
We have received your breaking outfit, and it is a very good one.
We could not get the harness makers around here to make such a set
for less than 830.00, and then it would not be much of a thing. You
sent us a far l)etter outfit than we could expect for 20.00. You
certainly deal with people on the square.
Yours very truly,
LOUIS WOLFE,
KINROSS, IOWA.

Prof. Jesse Beery,
Dear Sir:-Your appliances for breaking and training horses
are all right. They beat anything I ever tried. I have conquered
six spoiiled mares pretty thoroughly with them.
I thank you very much for the instructions I got from you.
Yours very truly,
ALBERT LOCKE,
HAGERSTOWN, IND.

THE WELLS OUTLAW STALLION BEING DRIVEN AT THE
SECOND HOME COMING.

The intense resistance of this vicious stallion that had not been
hitched to a vehicle for more than ten years, was held in control by
the Beery appliances. No difference how strong or how hard they
fight, this set of appliances brings them under perfect control.

APPLIANCES SUBDUING A BALKER.
PREF. JESSE BEERY, WAYLAND, IOWA, R. R. No. 1.
My DEAR SIR:-I received your breaking appliances in good
shape and find everything just as represented. I have used it on
a balky horse and learned him several points. I should not part
with the harness as I am expecting to get lots of good out of it.
Yours truly,
ELMER E. NOBLE.

APPLIANCES HOLD A HORSE TO BE DOCTORED.
PROF. BEERY, ARCANUM, OHIo, R. R. No. 3.
DEAR SIR:-I received my harness all 0. K. I have a horse
with the Fistulo, and the nicest way to doctor him is to lay him down
14

with the throwing appliances. Before I got them I had to call in
the neighbors and now I can doctor him myself very easily.

Appliances Increased the Value of One Horse 50.
Prof. Jesse Beery:-
Dear Sir:-I have handled that nine year old mare that I wrote
you about a short time ago. With your instructions I had complete
success in the work, and did it with ease. I gave her a course of sub-
jection as you advised, and gave her a complete working out and
made her submissive to everything she was especially afraid of. She
resisted the appliances, and fought the rope up to the point of un-
conditional surrender.
I am fully satisfied with the appliances, and let me say right
here, I have the utmost confidence in them, and money could not buy
them if I could not procure another set. The appliances made the
handling of this mare so complete and easy, she was so well subdued
that I drove her to Woodstock, and she did not scare at street cars
or motor cars, and remained under perfect control. I could not
approach these objects before handling her without great risk.
In the handling of this one mare the appliances were worth 50
to me, as they added more than that much value to her.
Yours very truly,
CHAS. ROSE,
EMBRO, ONT., CAN.

PROF. BEERY:-Every part of your appliances is first class.
They give entire satisfaction and are the best combination I have
ever seen for breaking horses. Yours very truly,
J. C. DIEDRICHS,
KERROBERT, SASK. CAN.
PROF BEERY:-Your appliances prove of excellent material and
workmanship. They will settle any horse if they are properly used.
I was so anxious to try mine, that I used them the day I got them.
They are just what you claim, Yours truly
P. M. HADSELL,
LIMA, OHIO.

DEAR PROFESSOR:-Your appliances are very satisfactory.
If I had the patterns, I could not have had a set made for less than
30.00. Very truly yours,
M. L. ECHALS.,
POTTSBORO, TEXAS, R. R. No. 3.
15

Prof. Jesse Beery,
Dear Sir:-I received the breaking appliances some time ago.
They- were just as you said they would be.
I am sending you a photo of a S250.00 saddle that I have. I
have seen all kinds of breaking appliances, hut none of them are as
handy as yours. I would not trade my appliances for this 82.50.00
saddle which was given as a prize for riding an outlaw broncho.
I have broken that stubborn four year old that I wrote you about
some time ago. Your method and your appliances fixed him all right.
Yours very truly
EMIL MULLER,
HELIX, OREG.

THE RESISTENCE GONE

The picture above is a photograph of a thoroughbred saddle
horse that firightened at unusual objects and resisted the appliances
principally by kicking. After he had done his "best" to free him-
self from the overpowering appliances, he allowed Prof. Beery and
his assistants to stand on him and the picture shows Prof. Beery
firing a 32 revolver while standing on his side..
16

Prof. Jesse Beery,
Dear Sir:-I have used the appliances according to the instruc-
tions and succeeded better than I had expected. The first one that I
worked with them was a five year old mare and weighed about 1150
and was well muscled. She was a regular man killing monster. The
owner had given up all hopes of ever working her and was going to
shoot her. She would kick until completely exhausted at the sight
of a man or anything that displeased her, and she would bite when-
ever she had an opportunity to do so. She was a fright in every
way. Now I ride her every where, drive her single and double, and
she is just as kind and nice as any horse could be.
The best investment I ever made was when I purchased your
set of breaking apliances.
Yours truly,
JAMES H. MARQUIS,

Dear Sir:-You will remember I wrote you some months ago about
a particular mare I received to train, telling you how badly spoilt she
was kicking and switching. I wish to Jell you now that the mare is
very quiet, the owner can do anything with her. He works her in a
four horse team, three horse team, two horse or single, and he is
surprised that she is so completely cured.
I claim my success with that mare was due to the complete
breaking appliances I got from you. I could handle her just as I
pleased with them.
Wishing you success, I am,
