If desired to casthorse on off side, the off fore foot is to be raised and secured bysome form of knee strap. The free end of main rope on near sideshould be carried backward over back and held by two free end of main rope (I) on off side should be carried for-ward, well in front of the animal, and there held by two cast the animal traction is made on each rope, and at the sametime the animal is forced backward a step by assistant in chargeof the head. The head is pulled to the right and the animal iscast on off Fig. 38—Animal east and Secured with Knowles Harness. In order to securely tie the animal after he is cast (see Fig. 38)the main ropes (N, N) are fastened around pasterns by two half Animal Castration 57 hitches. They are then passed behind hocks (P, P) in figure 8fashion a couple of times, after which fix them about pasterns (O,O) by half hitches. The opposite side is secured likewise afterthe animal is turned over. See to it that the hocks are completelyflexed and that the feet are not extended too far forward. Afterthe hind legs are secured apply knee strap (M) to off fore Miles spreaders (Fig. 39) are now applied, after which theanimal is secured for operation. Whlie I do not dispute the possibility of castrating a Riclg-ling horse on the operating table, nevertheless its practicabilityis seriously doubted.
