Ive been riding for just over 6 years and ive never learned how to do this. Thank you so much, now I wont have anxiety about tying my horse to the stall😂

[@Ridingwarehouse]

You are welcome, ShadowKat. We're glad our video was helpful! Visit our channel and subscribe for more how-to videos. Happy riding!

[@pitbulls4life141]

ShadowKat this shows how riding knowledge doesn’t translate through horse knowledgeable

[@bilsangel9496]

Lol same. I’ve been riding for about 5 years and I never had to use it bc my horse was always in his stall already and after the lesson all I. had to do was weave it through the bars bc he needed to be tied that way.

[@Corruptedd]

WOW COOL STORY DAWG

[@NocturnalAngel77]

I just adopted my first horse (I’ve been riding since age 9) and this video was extremely helpful. Thank you!

[@arthurgarcia7775]

This method works for items tied to the back of my tractor for my flatbed trailer work. Thank you for the quick lesson, you saved me a bunch of heart ache and headaches

[@ChezaraAsura]

Not JUST for horse restraint! I used this video to properly review how to tie a quick release knot for patient restraints at my hospital! Thank you!

[@johnwagemann8578]

Thank you Natalie, I do not have a horse, but do have a boat, making this very helpful! Boats try to get away too.

[@Ridingwarehouse]

You are very welcome John, we are happy to help! ~Katie, RW

[@trickdawg5521]

I would recommend that you use a "bowline" to tie your boat up. The knot is named after it's purpose: the knot that you use to tie the bow of the boat with a line(rope).

[@LKM7.]

Thank you so much! I have been riding for 3 years and the tie my trainer uses is similar to this, and I can’t pick up on things when done quickly (which is what she does) so this helps a bunch!

[@equinenicole7322]

Thanks! I’ve moved onto a stage where I have to tack up and untack and do everything independently and I never knew how to tie a horse to groom but now I know thanks

[@bpekhoul]

Thank you so very much Natalie for sharing and showing us how to tie this quick release knot. I don't have any horses, but I used this knot to tie my fishing rod to the pier post. In the past, I lost a couple of rods that were pulled from a pier by big fish. It is very easy to release the knot from the rod when the fish is pulling it. After using this knot I no longer lose a fishing rod. Again thank you!

[@user-bx7nw1ve6y]

Probably the simplest quick-release knot. Unlike more complicated knots, it's easy to tie even after the rope gets older and stiffer.

[@megandalley3734]

This really helped all the other videos go really fast I don’t understand it thanks so much

[@afnaar7386]

Great presentation and easy to follow!

[@nickedmonds4486]

If the horse pulls hard in a panic it will tighten this so it cannot be untied. I ran a stable for horse-back safaris with over 50 horses for 5 years in South Africa and often had to quick release. Trust me, this one is close, but will not work if the horse panics. Rather try: RING KNOT - This is a good knot to use for tying a horse to a ring of any kind. Twist the loop in the rope a few times and put the twisted loop through the ring. Then a loop (in the end going to the horse) can be put through the loop created by the twists, creating a second loop. A loop is then made in the working end of the rope, to put through that loop, leaving a tail on the working end of the rope that can be pulled for untying. Refer to eclectic-horseman.com/tying-knots-that-work-for-horses/

[@Grushenke89]

Thank you for this. My horse did that today and I couldn't get the knot untied at all. Luckily I got him calmed down and then someone gave me a new lead rope to secure.

This is soooo good. Is it not a Truckies knot? You do it so well and use a fine red rope and it is easy to follow. I get to it when it clears up and yes I will use the best rope I can find! Richard

[@Ridingwarehouse]

Hadn't heard of truckies. A lot of folks call it daisy chain. Glad you liked the video, thank you for watching and commenting, Richard.

[@ianbrown_777]

It's called a Halter Hitch (the first part). The final part is called a Chain Sinnet, pretty sure. I was wondering if horse people ever use anything else (Highwaymans Hitch etc) or is that the industry standard these days?
