1. Rope Work – Splicing to make a Livestock Halter Instructor: Mr. Ramirez

9. STEP 7 – Making a Crown Splice Spread the strands of rope by untwisting slightly and holding the strands apart with your left forefinger. Weave the free strand (#1 in the illustration) over the nearest strand to the point where it merges from the crown knot, and then simply weave over and under as shown. The weaving of the free strands may be done alternately or each strand may be woven its entire length before going on to the next strand. The main point to remember is that no two strands go over or under the same strand. Compilation: AECD, California || For more veterinary stuff visit www.techyvety.com

10. STEP 8 – Making a Crown Splice When all strands have been woven about five inches along the body of the rope, cut off the ends of the free strands flush with the sides of the rope. Roll the splice between your palms (as if you were rolling play-dough) several times to “set” the strands. Compilation: AECD, California || For more veterinary stuff visit www.techyvety.com
