i had to
rescue a horse who had stepped over his lead rope while tied to a picket
line. he was tied with a safety knot, but it pulled so tight there was
no getting it loose, so i whipped out my trusty knife and cut the
rope. it is best to carry a pocketknife at all times,
just in case. cowboy ed
My daughter and I had the opportunity to help by rescuing a sweet and
thankfully quiet, level headed 4 year old who had gotten his leg over his
lead. He had not gotten the knot tight enough that it had to be cut. This was a
Pony Club show so had the owners done as Pony Club expects people to do
(Tie the rope to a piece of breakable twine), the gelding would have been
able to break the twine before he broke his leg, I would think. We are talking
horses here though. Beccy
