Tying Knots - The Bowline
Functional Horsemanship is starting a series on knots that come in handy for Horsemen,…Horsewomen too.
I have previously posted videos on how to tie a horse with a lead line to a tie rail or to a trailer “D” ring. Tying horses should be done with slip knots, if possible. For the videos for tying horses, click the link below:

Tying a Horse to a Trailer "D" Ring
The knots I will be covering in this series of posts pertain to knots use for a wide range of functions. I’ll start of with the Bowline knot. This knot is used to anchor a rope to something such as a tie down spot on a trailer or bed of a truck; tie off to a rock or tree so you can have a controlled descent down a slope or cliff.
The Bowline and other knots that I will be covering are just good tools to have in your saddlebag of knowledge as a Horseman or Outdoorsman.
Hope you all like these series of posts on knots.
Hey Functional Horseman, enjoy your vids,. can you tell me some more uses for the Bowline knot? Jedd - Texas
