Title: Animal exerciser

Abstract: An animal exercising device adapted to be mounted overhead within a support structure spanning a prescribed floor or ground area. The device includes a drive sheave and a plurality of idler sheaves that are suspended overhead to receive an endless elongated belt. The drive sheave is operated by a motor to move the belt about a continuous cycle. A tether assembly is connected to the belt and includes a drum and retractable cord adapted to be connected to an animal's leash or halter. When the device is in operation the animal is led about the circuit defined by the driving and idler sheaves. When not in use the cord automatically retracts upwardly to provide a clear open area below the device that may be utilized for other purposes.
