quick release horse knot

Never mind, the loop just comes out on the other side, i see they are the same. Hmm

Thats the knot I use for getting a rope sent up to me... Tie two ropes together and then pull the end to separate the ropes. Works really well and the ropes never get tangeled!

looks a bit risky for personal use.

 

would not put my life next to a chance, the reason why it's used for horses: when they are in a panic and they rear or back away, it will break free, to stop them hurting themselves.

 

tied it over 10,000 times on all my horses.

 

on another note, i would use it to lower the odd branch, to speed up a job if the groundy is off smoking a fag:thumbup:

Definitly not for life support. My horse figured out pretty quick to pull the tail and free himself. Always had to tuck the tail through the loop.

I dont think a panicked horse could pull it loose, but a person could break it while the horse is panicking. Would like to see it break tested

depends on the horse, one of mine was a pick pick-pocket, he'd also do your zip up/down and put your hood on your jacket up/down depending on his mood.

Yeah great little knot that one. if you made the Loop long enough to go with you, then it would be 100% safe. stick a bineer in and back to yourself. But you would need x3 the rope. Nice little post and Video keivn

thanks Matt, that actually gives me the idea that if you even stuck 4 or five feet of your tail through the loop and left it there while you did the traverse, it could act as a lock. Having enough rope usually isnt a problem as most of the traverses that I have employed this technique on are really not that far.

[MOG]

Yup thats the Go then Kevin

you can 'chain link' a few loops through the eye you make so there is two or three 'knots' to pop befofe it relases.
