Bestraining Both Hind Legs with a Bope Tie. 



Figure 252 represents Moussu's method of restraining both 

 hind legs with a' rope tie. The rope is simply looped (d) ^iround 

 one hind leg above the hock and passed backward and forward 

 around the legs (b) (c) above the hocks, forming a figure "8," 

 after which fix by a knot (a) between the legs.

Smith's Anti-Kicker. 



The anti-kicker, Figure 



253, is made entirely of met- 



W<^ al. It consists of two flat 



spring clamps (a) (d) so 



shaped as to fit firmly over 



the Achilles tendon. To one 



of these spring clamps one end of the chaiii (b) is securely fixed. 



The other spring clamp carries a locking ring (c) to receive 



and lock the chain. 



Figure 254 represents the anti-kicker applied. This makes 

 a convenient and safe hobble for the hind legs, and will effect- 

 ually prevent kicking.
