This knot permits double loops to come out the center of one side and a single loop and two loose ends to come out the center of the other side of this attractive symmetrical knot. For a rope halter, the two loose ends are continued into a series of double overhand knots at appropriate intervals for the particular size of the horse's head. | ||
For the set of hobbles, a brass ring is attached to the double loops on one side of the knot to join the hobble for the horse's other front foot. On the other side, a diamond knot terminates the two loose ends and the single loop is placed over this to encircle the horse's fetlock. A small rope slide (melted with a solder iron) on this single loop is pushed against the diamond knot to prevent the loop from slipping off the foot. | For the set of hobbles, a brass ring is attached to the double loops on one side of the knot to join the hobble for the horse's other front foot.
