HORSE PACKING 



(Note. — Both No. I and No. 2. in actual practice 

 throw the hitch simultaneously as the movements 

 for the hitch on the near and off sides of the mule 

 are identical. But for simplicity of description and 

 diagrams it will be explained as though consecutive 

 operations — or as though it was being thrown by 

 but one man acting as No. 1 and also a No. 2 acting 

 at the same time. 



Fig. 2. 



No. 1 now passes his rope to the right, around the 



upper right hand corner of the pack, on around 



under the sobre-jalma and up and around the upper 



left hand corner of the pack. 



He passes the end of the rope over and down under 



the standing part. 



The position of the lash rope is now as shown in 



Fig. 2.
