 3 inches wide to go all around the horse, or it can 

 be cut in two pieces and sewed together in center.

 safety rope or line, the same as on the left side.

 inch rings in terret fashion about 2 inches apart, 

 to be used for the double safety ropes when it be- 

 comes necessary to throw the animal or bring 

 him to his knees. 



The Working of the Double Safety Rope 

 and How to Use it. 



Place on your horse a bridle with extra long 

 lines. Put around the body a surcingle and on 

 each front leg below the fetlock a footstrap. Take 

 a rope twenty feet long and pass it through the 

 lower ring of the surcingle, then through the 

 footstrap ring that is on the right front leg. 

 Bring it back and pass it through the next lower 

 ring in the surcingle and then down through the 

 footstrap ring that is on the left foot, and tie il 

 in a slip knot. Take the lines and pass them 

 through the side rings in the surcingle. Step
