The other CASTING AND SECURING HABNESS AND EOPBS. 123 main rope begins at hobble ring of off binfl; then carry rope (g)upward to and through D (h) on top of the body girth. Aswill be observed by the use of this process, the casting is doneby forcing the animal to .flex his legs, followed by its slowlyfalling on the feed. The legs being tied up to the body, theirextension is impossible; muscular contraction is limited, andexcessive flexion of the vertebral column prevented. Besides. Fig. 146. The Original Danish Casting Harness. this, the complete flexion of the extremities allows full viewand easy access to all regions, especially the inguinal. To cast the horse the head is held by an assistant; a pullmade at the same time on the chain and on the rope bringing thelegs together—the animal is cast. The chain is fixed in theusual way and the rope pulling near hind leg close to the bodyand towards the upper ring of the belt, is secured by halfhitches around the coronet. 124 EESTEAINT OF DOMESTIC AJflMALS.
