Tie a strap or rope around the back part of the neck and a surcingle around the body.
The ascending ropes proceed forward on the middle of the back, twisting over each other, and are tied to the surcingle and collar.
These descending ropes are carried forward on the sides of the body and tied to the surcingle and to the neck collar.
This may be overcome by fastening it to a suspender attached to a surcingle or passed over the body and attached to the opposite leg.
If the pains are violent and continuous, they may be checked by pinching the back or by putting a tight surcingle around the body in front of the udder.
When girthed tie the string surcingle over the saddle; besides holding the reins, it now prevents the flaps flying up.
The use of this surcingle is to prevent the small flap on the off side from turning up, and the large flap on the off side from being blown about with wind; and it should not be drawn tighter than is sufficient for these purposes.
I expected that it would be redeemed in something that would expand my surcingle and enable me to cast a shadow--in eggs and oleomargarine, corn-bread and buttermilk.
Uth" Noreen gripped the surcingle rope tightly as the elephant heaved up his big body and set off along a track through the jungle at a rapid pace.
He hurriedly threw the pad on the elephant's back and made him rise so that the surcingle rope could be fixed.
The heavy bridle reins were covered with the finest white kid, as was the surcingle which completed his trappings.
You breathe outdoor air only in high-fenced grass paddocks around which you are driven in surcingle rig by a Cockney groom imported with the pigskin saddles and British condition powders.
We were afterwards placed on a bare-backed horse around which was buckled a surcingle with two handles--a non-commissioned officer holding the animal at the end of a long rope so as to make him canter in a circle.
When placed on the bare-backed steed, he clung to the surcingle like a monkey, and upon being told to jump off, he rolled like an untidy bundle to the ground.
The surcingle has accustomed him to girths--he leads well, and has learned that when the right rein is pulled he must go to the right, and when the left rein to the left.
When the horse has hopped for as long as you think necessary to tire him, buckle a common single strap roller or surcingle on his body tolerably tight.
Then put a surcingle around his body, and fasten one end of a long strap around the other fore-leg, just above the hoof.
I stayed not to unsaddle him, but, cutting the surcingle with my knife, left him to shake the saddle off; then with the bridle I hammered on the door, shouting to my wife to open.
I watched him take out a small sharp knife and without looking down draw it across the upper part of his surcingle three or four times; but this he did evidently only for practice, as he did not cut into the hide.
You intend cutting your surcingle and running away, little coward?
Then put a surcingle around his body, and fasten one end of a long strap around the other fore leg, just above the hoof.
The surcingle is then buckled over the saddle, and should be a little looser than the cincha.
The surcingle is of leather, and fastens in the Mexican style; the girth is also of leather, three and a half inches wide, with a large buckle.
The girth and surcingle are of leather, with an ordinary woolen saddle-blanket.
A surcingle may be first thrown over his back and loosely buckled at first, then gradually tightened up.
The reins must be, if the pillars are too high, fastened to the three rings on the surcingle as explained above.
The surcingle should lie neatly over the girths, and have an equal bearing with them.
The earliest trappings should be a small bridle and surcingle made of very soft wash-leather, or calico--the intention being merely to indicate the maturer harness that is destined to succeed.
