The tying knot is used by the rider to fasten a horse quickly and securely, which can be released immediately at any time.

Names and history

This knot is known to riders, grooms and lovers as a horse tying knot or tying knot for short and is used in many countries and cultures to tie horses and other animals. From Ashley it is described somewhat modified as "Schlingenstek with slip".

use

If a tethered horse is frightened and panics , it must be able to be untied immediately so that it can implement its flight reflex and calm down. The tying knot can be released immediately by pulling on the free end, even under tension. At the same time, the connection knot is a secure attachment. So that the horse cannot pull the knot with its own mouth, the loose end is sometimes put through the loop.

When sailing, the knot is often used to attach the line of a dinghy to the dock or ship. You can then untie the knot from the dinghy to put it down.

The knot has the property that it tightens when pulled at the fixed end, but opens immediately when pulled at the loose end; when tied several times, this happens in a cascade.

Knot

  • Eye on the pulling end

  • Loop put through eye

  • tightened

The connection knot consists of two variants. In one variant, the rope is placed around the beam or pulled through the ring. One eye is placed with the loose end . The other version begins with an eye being laid and drawn through the ring. In both variants, the eye is placed on the fixed end so that the loose end of the bay is on top. The loose end is now put as a loop around the fixed end and tightened through the eye. The result is an overhand knot on slip that wraps around the pulling end.

The advantage of having an eye around the bar or through the ring is that "threading" around the bar or out of the ring is no longer necessary. The knot can be pulled up completely after the end loop has been loosened and thus enables a rider, for example, to lead the horse directly on the rope without further manipulation. The disadvantage of this variant is that stress on the non-free end can lead to the knot shifting, partially slipping into the ring or around the rod and becoming entangled with very heavy loads. However, this does not affect the function or the load capacity; the knot remains detachable by pulling on the free end.

The advantage of the other variant is that the rope still runs around the bar or through the ring even after it has been released. For example, a tied dinghy can be released quickly in this way without it being held freely in the hand. Instead, the tensile force continues to run around the beam, as a result of which the frictional force when "threading out" around the beam slows down the noise ; At the same time, the direction of pull is even (towards the beam) and also runs towards the edge of the boat or even in the middle of the boat, whereas a dinghy that is held free and dancing on the waves is more difficult to hold due to the change in the direction of pull and the person holding it can also pull out to sea.

To enable the knot to be opened as quickly as possible, the termination is often left out; the last part of the knot remains on slip.

Alternatives

  • Well-trained western horses are sometimes not tied up at all. It is sufficient if a rein is loosely looped around a beam or simply hangs down. The horse then stops.
  • Special tying ropes with panic hooks also allow the rope to be tied without panties. The other end is then attached to the halter with the panic hook . Most of the time, however, the horse tying knot is used.
  • Another tie knot is tied like this:

  • Make a turn around the beam (the standing part comes from the right).

  • The right hand forms a bay with the standing part and places it on the end of the rope to the left.

  • Make a trip around the bay with the end of the rope.

  • Reach around and lead the end of the rope under the standing part.

  • Form a bay again.

  • Insert the second bay through the first bay to the left and hold it.

  • Grasp the standing part with your right hand and close it. Finished.

Highwayman's hitch

The Highwayman's hitch (lit. " highwayman's knot") is a knot for tying up horses and small boats, which can be quickly loosened even when pulled.

With the end of the load, marked in the picture by the roll of adhesive tape, lay a bay in front of the post and a second bay behind the post. Now push the first bay through the second. Bring the loose end from the back to the front, form a third bay with it and push it through the first bay. After closing, the bays lock each other. The result is a triple slip in a slip.

  • Two bays, the first in the front (red) and the second in the back (blue).

  • Slide the first bay through the second.

  • Make a third bay (black) with the loose end (green) and push it through the first bay.

  • Tighten and you're done.

To loosen the knot, all you have to do is pull the loose end and the bays will slip out.

  • Another knot to tie up is the mooring hitch .
  • A modification of the mooring hitch is a simple "slip in slip", see ABoK # 2154.
  • The Slipstek is not suitable . It is released by the movement of the horse.

Modifications

  • If the first eye is turned half a turn, the Evenk knot is created .
  • If the loose end is pulled through the loop of the slip as a bay, an additional slip is created. A chain link is created several times . The loose end is put through the last slip loop at the end. This creates a knot, which Ashley describes as a sling with slip ( ABoK # 1715).
  • The Albeknoten on Zingulum to the priest clothing corresponds to the Highwayman's hitch without recent briefs.

  • Evenk knot

  • Chain stake with slip

  • Horse tied to a chain stake with slip

  • Alb knot (Highwayman's hitch) with a straight end

  • Tying the alb knot
