Rarey's Method. 



The method of Rarey, Figure 180, is similar in many re- 

 spects to that of Gleason; the only difference is that Gleason 

 applies the tripping rope to one fore foot and Rarey applies 

 it to both the off fore and the off hind feet. In using Rarey's 

 method a knee strap is applied to off fore leg and the foot 

 raised against the elbow. A rope is then attached around near

fore pastern (a) and another rope around near hind pastern 

 (b). A surcingle carrying a ring (c) is applied and the two 

 leg ropes are carried through this ring (c) and then upward 

 over back. The operator stands on the off side, against the 

 horse. The head is draAvn around to the opposite side by 

 means of halter rein; at the same time traction is made upon 

 both ropes. This puts three legs "out of commission" and the 

 horse falls.
