In order to securely tie the animal after he is cast (Fig. 38) the main ropes (N, N) are fastened around the pasterns by two half hitches, and are then passed behind the hocks (P, P) in a figure-8 fashion a couple of times, after which they are secured about the pasterns (O, 0) by half hitches. The opposite side is secured likewise after the animal is turned over. See to it that the hocks are completely flexed and that the feet are.

The Miles spreaders (Fig. 39) are then applied, after which the animal is secured for operation. The author's ideal, casting harness illustrated on page 218, has been found to be entirely satisfactory for restraining ridgling horses for operation. With| thiri harness the animal is cast and tied by the same methods as those described as being used with the Knowles harness. While I do not dispute the possibility of castrating a ridgling horse on the operating table, nevertheless its practicability is seriously doubted.
