Hitches
Knots/Hitches/Splices-These are used to permanently join ropes together to one another.
Splices
This knot is a quick and easy knot which acts like a slipknot and is a convenient way to tie up the end of a rope.
Double Half Hitch
This knot is excellent for tying two nearly equal size ropes together or for tying the ends of a single rope together to form a loop. Used mainly to secure gates or cage openings. Also used to tie a cloth or gauge bandage around the limb of an injured animal.
Square Knot
This knot is used to form a small loop in the end of a rope in order to pass the rest of the rope through, forming a much larger loop, or lariat.
Honda Knot
This knot is a standard way to tie an animal to a post. A variation of a slip knot that can be released very quickly, even when under tension. This knot should NEVER be tied around the neck or body of an animal.
Quick-Release Knot
This is a non-slip knot used to form a loop that will not tighten or draw down when placed around an animal’s body.
Bowline Knot
This is a good non-slip knot for tying ends of rope together and can easily be released. An advantage is that it can be tied under tension-an important feature for a knot used to restrain livestock.
