the colt’s head and neck well to the left will assist the movement. When 
the foot has been once stirred, the operation must be repeated until the 
colt will allow the foot to be bent near to the elbow joint, and to be retained 
for a time in that position. The gentle feeling of the hand then proceeds 
along the body near the hind quarter and leg. The hind-leg should be 
lifted in the quietest manner and raised as high as possible. The tail is 
then well handled, and the off-side of the colt finishes the process of han¬ 
dling or gentling.”
