r all the horses bt-longing to the royal
family are trducntrd in o. very severe
school. Most of them are bred in
the royal stahl.-s .it Hampton. Th..-y
are broken with the greatest cure,
and are taught to behave theinst-I\'cS
under all circumstances so that noth-
ing frightens them. They are accus-
tomed to having military bands and
lifes playing around them, iirccrack-
ers and rockets shot oil under-their
noses, and flags waved in their eyes,
so that when they go out in pro-
cessions, as they are required to
do frequently, they will not be dis-
turbed by the demonstrations.
All the horses in the stables are
trained in a sirnrilar manner, and'
Queen Victoria took a great personal
interest in that business. There is o,
little balcony incloserl with glass
overhanging the riding hall, in which
sho used to sit for hours watching
the groorns train her horses and the
little princes and prizneesses learn-
ing to ride. Every member of the
royal family is accustomed to the
saddle, and the little children of
the Prince of Wales, now only 4 or
5 years old, are required to take
lessons from the riding master twice
a day. They have a pair of pretty
Shetland ponies, and drive them in
` little carts. Queen Victoria had a
‘team of eight cream-colored ponies,
