 of the rope back through the forelegs. One end is taken to the 

 outside of the near hind leg, below the hock, passed around to

 be drawn up near the neck. The rope is to be fastened around 

 the fetlock and a hitch drawn over the foot on to the fetlock, 

 and pulled tight. The fore foot may then be included in the 

 tie, and a similar process gone through with on the legs of the 

 opposite side.
