Thank you for the useful video :) I have been studying and knitting knots for thirty years, and only now I decided to start my own channel on this topic. It remains to learn how to shoot videos beautifully :) I wish all knotters good luck in this exciting activity :)

[@yapthomas01]

This is a common but not an easy knots to tie, but the way Michael teaches is brilliant! Great Teacher! I have been wanting to learnt this knot for a long long time! Thanks!

Yes the loop is all that goes in the mouth, around the bottom of the jaw and rides in the mouth like a bit. if a person doesn't know the history of it and uses it with a lot of force you can break the horses jaw, so it would probably be a good idea to train them with this when they are younger so they know the right amount of pressure. I have used this a wee bit on my Quarab, but by using this I could easily make a hackamore or bridle

Hii

[@TheBellmare]

Does not ride in mouth like a bit, fits the jaw at the bars, tongue is free.

[@MrSanteeclaus]

As small as it is featured here it resembled a fiador knot. Throat latch used with a Bosal. It has many years since i made one

[@benveach9689]

Brilliant. Easy, quick to tie, easy to undo, and doesn't tighten on the horses jaw! I'm going to try this with my Arab! Thank you🙂

[@jamesgrubb9455]

I turned on the video. Started to watch. Got a little bored. Went to the kitchen. Turned on the light. Leaned against the counter. Folded my arms. Had a moment of silence to decide what I was going to snack on. Made my decision. Took out some bread. Put it in the toaster. Made toast. Grabbed a paper plate. Took the toast out of the toaster. Placed it on the paper plate. Got a butter knife out of the drawer. Actually buttered the toast. Dropped the butter knife off at the sink. Got a glass out of the cupboard. Poured me my usual glass of milk. Grabbed a napkin. Turned out the kitchen light Came back out here to CONTINUE the video (as I never hit pause). Realized I forgot to put cinnamon on my toast. Returned to the kitchen with toast. Turned on the light. Sprinkled toast with cinnamon. Turned off the kitchen light. Made my final trip back out here to finish the video. Hit the skip ad button. And FINALLY finished the video on how to tie an Indian Bridle knot. I'm Exhausted!!! Think I'll go take a nap. Thanks for the brief and informative video.

Haha

[@mchlholly]

Hi Ashlyn! I'm not really sure! I've been trying to picture it, the knot can be made in the middle of any rope so the loop could possibly be placed around the horses nose, mouth, head...and the ends brought up to act as reins...but i don't know for sure! Let me know if you find out.

6” hard loop with a6” spoke. Rode one till I was 11

[@knoxscoop]

Never put the loop at the top of this knot in an animal's mouth. An indian bridle, or hackamore, is attached to a knot or loop under the chin, then the long loose ends are used as reins. Nothing goes in the horse's mouth.

[@mchlholly]

Thanks! That info is helpful!

[@carlb8277]

The loop goes in the mouth, in the natural gap in a horse's mouth where the teeth end. This is also known as a "war bridle" or even "ghost bridle" - Indians used this method as once the bridle was made, it was very quick to fit and jump up onto the horse, so for getting moving quickly, such as for a fight, it was perfect.

[@tps_kap4289]

So how does it stay in the horse's mouth? Seems like it could be easily pushed out by the horse's tongue.

[@jullelehto2321]

This knot is from english postworkers. History of this knot old. ( sorry my english ). When people was working on fields they do this knot on winesacks ( made skin ) that they can carry healthy drinkingw(ine) ater . After that english post take it to close their postsacks. I,m half from norway and rest from finland. Old peeple teach this knot when i was young ( now i’m halfblind ). Bella knot but maybe it is much easier way to do it .....

[@kevinwatkins9367]

That is a "bottle knot" used to wrap around the neck of a bottle to make a bottle sling to carry.

[@mchlholly]

Rock Climber cool!

[@kevinwatkins9367]

The way I heard the story is that it is a very old knot. Supposedly used to wrap around the neck of amphora jars on the dock so they could then be lifted up to the ship's deck for loading and transport. It's a cool knot. I've used it on water bottles to clip to a pack sometimes. Pretty handy! Good video to show how to tie it!

[@gregglockhart9551]

It’s been referred to as the jar and jug sling knot and a hackamore, or emergency horse bridle.

[@avasimmonds2115]

How long should the piece of rope be?

[@mchlholly]

I really don't know! There are many people who comment that it should not be used as actual lead or reigns for a horse as it may hurt their mouth. I use it as an ornamental knot on the end of a lanyard for keys or a whistle . Because it starts with 2 loops you can do it anywhere within a rope Not just at 1 end.

[@jimnowak3960]

what would you use this for?

[@mchlholly]

Hi Jim, I use it as a loop on the end of a lanyard to hold a whistle or keys. I use it mostly because it has a good design. The name implies that it was used by native people' as a bridle for their horses but quite a few people have said it would be damaging to the horse!

[@astralhorses9559]

@@mchlholly this knot was used in the process of making "war"/"ghost" bridles by various Native tribes, but wasn't the finished bridle [it would be used to cinch down the mouth-loop, not go in the mouth itself.] from what I've seen, most modern versions tend to replace it with a rawhide bead: westernhorseman.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/0042.jpg

What is it for ?

[@katersnot8767]

budi susetyo It’s called a war bridle & was commonly used by native americans on their horses. You put the loop on the horses jaw & it’s already attached to the reins so there’s no ‘bridle,’ just the ‘bit.’ I’d rather use these than a bit if I don’t have a halter or bosal with me.
