Fic. 148.— Rope halter. Loose guard loop type. 
If the halter is to be of the guard loop type, as shown in Figs.

with the eye to the left, the short end over the knee for the head 
piece, the long end in front for the nose piece. 
At the mark C on the short end raise the out- 
side strand and pass the long end through 
from front to back up to the mark D, as in 
Fig. 148,1. Just back of this crossing raise 
the outside strand of the long end and pass | 
the short end through from below, as indi- 
cated by the arrow in Fig. 148, 1, and pull 
up tightly as in Fig. 147, 3. 
Pass the long end through the eye and 
knot the short end, as in Fig. 148, 2, if the 
halter is to be of the loose guard loop type. 
If a standard guard loop halter is desired, 
whip the short end to the long one, as in 
Fig. 149. , . Fig. 149.— Rope halter.
