Abstract
A twitch for use in controlling an animal bound to a lead rope. The twitch includes an elongate, L-shaped member having attached at one end thereof a flexible, looped cord which is twistable about a portion of the animal's lip, when the member is rotated, to secure the cord tightly to the lip. A ring attached to the other end of the member is adapted to receive the lead rope therethrough to prevent the twitch--in its twisted configuration--from unwinding.
