As the name implies, an animal's <a href="/wiki/Lead_rope" class="mw-redirect" title="Lead rope">lead rope</a>, attached to its <a href="/wiki/Halter" title="Halter">halter</a>, may be tied to a post or hitching rail with this knot. The benefit of the halter hitch is that it can be easily released by pulling on one end of the rope, even if it is under tension. Some sources show the knot being finished with the free end running through the slipped loop to prevent it from working loose or being untied by a <a href="/wiki/Animal_cognition" title="Animal cognition">clever animal</a>, still allowing easy but not instant untying.<sup id="cite_ref-ashley305_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ashley305-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-packinmules_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-packinmules-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Tying">Tying</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Halter_hitch&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Tying"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px; height: 150px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Pferdeanbindeknoten1.JPG" class="mw-file-description" title="Halter hitch 1 : Place rope behind, through or around anchor object.
