HORSE PACKING 



Fig. 6 



Fig, 6. No. 2 grasps the end of the rope and passes it 

 under and up between the two central ropes and pre- 

 pares to loop it under the off rear corner of the 

 sobre-jalma. 



Both No. I and No. 2 assist each other at this point 

 in adjusting the rear loop that is to secure the 

 riding load. The point for this rope to bind varies 

 according to the nature of the riding load. It must 

 bind at a place where it will not slip forward, or up 

 or in any direction; with a soft sack there is no diffi- 

 culty, but with a hard keg or box some precision 

 is needed. 



(In the diagrams only the clearness of following 

 the rope has been kept in view and the keg more 

 easily visualizes the riding: load.) 



The position of the lash rope is now as indicated by 

 Fig. 6.
