heavy straps (d) (c) merge together at the whiffletree and con- 

 nect the body with the whiffletree. An iron or wooden bar (e) 

 runs lengthwise of the horse. By this bar the tail (j) and head 

 (f) are supported. 



Fig. 76. Marsch's Sling. 



Marsch's sling, Figure 76, is similar to those illustrated and 

 described above, except that the body (a) is connected with the 

 wooden or iron supporting piece (j) by means of a rope lace. 

 This makes the sling body adjustable, which is an advantage in 

 some instances.
