Horse neck rope knot, NOT a hangman's noose!

It's very scary that a number of KZbin sites have videos telling horse owners how to do the 'parade' or 'cavalry' knot BUT many of these show people how to strangle and kill their beloved horses by incorrectly instructing them on tying what is a hangman's noose. Some of the people who show the incorrect knot are even saying the wrong knot is better because you can slide it up and down. Yes, even when they demonstrate how the knot tightens around the horse's neck they are not waking up to the fact that the noose could actually kill their horse. Scary. THIS is how to tie the knot correctly as per the Australian Light Horse manual of 1910 and 1914. And for goodness sake, if you ever see a hangman's knot on a horse, politely point the fact out to the owner. Cheers cobbers.

We can see that You & the Mrs are true equestrians with a fierce passion for animal welfare & the obscure bit of information about the horses eating their ropes is the kind of thing I love to learn about.

much appreciated cobber

Hello Trooper Cody! Hello Steve! A very beautiful and patient horse. Thanks for taking the time in the heat and the uniform to show how to do it!

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

kind words mate and much appreciated, thanks for that - we are heading into winter now - 1st June - so tunics will be good soon ha ha .. thanks again

[@thehistoadian]

Awesome video, I love these videos on the small historical facts people generally don't really think much about, hopefully no one's horses get injured from doing it wrong...

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

cheers mate, appreciate the comment and the sentiments .. thank you

[@petergraham8833]

Good on you Steve. Members of the LHR were soldiers of course but they were genuine and A-grade horsemen as well. It is only now that I wish I had asked my own grandfather, a member of the 9LHR more about his life and times in the Regiment. I understand his father (my great grandfather) was a Blacksmith, so am convinced that those of that era well and truly knew what they were about when it came to horses and horsemanship. Keep up the good work - it is all part of our heritage.

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

super words Peter, thanks for that .... my wife's father was a blacksmith in the Australian Army pre WWII before switching to infantry ... yes, they had to have a very special knowledge of horses ... cheers mate ... the 9th Light Horse, very special to us in SA mate ...

Hey steve. This is why i love your channel. Over the short time i have known you. You have shown me and all of us how much you care about historical authenticity And your horses. If the people who watched that other video. And the person who made that other video. truly cared about historical authenticity and most importantly their own horses life and health. They would instantly pull that video and redo it. the right way. In this situation I don't think it's nitpicking. I see it as a hazard that could result in a horse's injury or even death. Its frustrating sometimes seeing the so-called experts because of there channel size. Have no idea what there talking about. And they grow fast and spread wrong information. Now the real experts will have to spend years just reversing the damage of just one so-called expert did. Cheers brother if you decide you want to leave a comment on that video let me know I'll back you up and leave a comment as well.

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

phew, love those words and sentiments cobber ... it really is a tough call to try to be constructive and not to be seen as a 'hater' .... appreciate your support ...

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

@@CodyandSteveDownUnder no problem. Years ago there was a youtuber that had a extremely large following. he did DIY projects. He did a DIY air conditioning using a ice cooler, a fan, and ice . He thought it was a great idea to use dry ice instead of regular ice. Thinking that it would be much colder and no water to deal with. What he didn't realize is dry ice being carbon dioxide if somebody made his air-conditioning and used it in a small room they could suffocate to death. Me this is a great example of how people could be hurt by taking the advice of somebody who really doesn't know what they're doing. And I think the best route to criticize this man's video. ensure him this is not an attack on him as a person. Just that he's video puts horses in danger. Cheers

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

@@snappers_antique_firearms what makes this worse is - dare I say it - the video was made by a young-ish woman ... I hate to say this but a man cannot put anything remotely critical even if it is constructive, on a horse woman's video, such a foolish man would unleash a sh.t storm of female backlash ... and even now I have said too much .....

I think I have written this here somewhere because I forgot to say it in the video - anyway, old men are always repeating themselves so ..... the rope needs to be 10 (ten) feet long if you are going to have enough for 7 rings .... cheers cobbers :)

[@wildmoon8862]

Thank you, I've wanted to learn this but have been so wary of the hangman's knot problem on youtube, I think it's in a lot of horse videos unfortunately

Good video, be interesting to know what happened to all the old cast iron camp ovens the Military would have used.

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

easy to answer cobber because everything, and I mean everything, went into much needed scrap for recycling ... so very much lost but most people just wanted to forget it all and have no reminders ..

[@petethebastard]

Wow... the tiny things I didn't need to know, but glad I do now know! Thanks Sarge! Question : Why would you re-tie it? Why not just keep the knot and loop it over the horses neck ...like most people do with neck-ties....

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

see, see, always an excellent question that makes me go "D'oh! why didn't I put that in the darn video!!!" you have to constantly untie it as it is the tether rope, and the lead rope.... you can lead without untying usually - that's what I do - but when it came to tethering the horse to the horse line for tucker, sleep, waiting waiting waiting , then it had to be untied ... a bloody excellent question cobber and it should have been in the bloody video .... cheers digger

Well Sir, Mother Nature and Fate were responsible for Weeding the garden of humanity since the days of Sabre Tooth Tigers and Cave Bears.

that is very well expressed and darn funny with it ... all the more funny in that the high chair sticker to which you refer is real .... what have we come to ... also, apologies, an old man senior moment .... I have no idea what caused me to start calling you Larry .... cheers Chuck ....
