Halter Hitch Knot

The Halter Hitch is a type of quick release knot that is used to secure a rope to an object such as a post or fence rail. It is often used to tie up horses or mules and is known for its ability to be quickly and easily released by pulling on one end of the rope, even when it is under tension. The halter hitch can also be passed through the slipped loop for added security, but not tightened down. It is considered one of the quickest to tie of all the quick release hitches.

1. Start by holding the halter rope in your dominant hand, with the end facing away from you.
2. Make a small loop at the end of the rope by folding it over itself.
3. Hold the loop in your hand, and use your other hand to bring the end of the rope behind the loop.
4. Take the end of the rope and thread it through the loop from the front.
5. Tighten the knot by pulling on the end of the rope and the standing part of the rope.
6. Adjust the knot as needed to ensure that it is snug and secure.
