The Pocket Guide to Equine Knots: A Step-by-Step Guide to the Most Important Knots for Horse and Rider by Dan Aadland **Practical knots for every barn, stable, and corral.** As anyone who has ever stepped foot into a barn knows well, riding, handling, and caring for a horse is no easy task. Learning how to correctly tie knots can make things easier, but with more than four thousand different types of knots out there, the choices can be overwhelming. Experienced trainer and breeder Dan Aadland is here to help with *The Pocket Guide to Equine Knots* , a compact guidebook filled with only the most useful and practical knots for dealing with horses. Here, you’ll learn to recognize a “good” knot—a knot that holds but can be untied after pressure. You’ll look into the world of hitches (systems for packing items onto a horse) and splices (useful ways of joining ropes and creating loops). And you’ll learn step-by-step how to properly tie dozens of different knots, including: Square knot
Bowknot
Hitch
And many more



So whether you’re an experienced rider or you’re about to head out on the trail for the first time, *The Pocket Guide to Equine Knots* is guaranteed to help you as you ride off towards your next adventure.

I will highly recommend this gently told reminiscence of Dan Aadland's life in Montana. A preacher's kid, Aadland married into a ranching family that dates back to the nineteenth century. His love of his wife and sons, family, fine horses, and country shine through every page in this lovely book, punctuated beautifully by illustrations from artist Nik Carpenter. Although the book is primarily about Aadland's ranching life and his horse breeding business (Tennesee walking horses), along the way there are also stories interspersed about his childhood, his second job teaching high school English, and his service as a Marine Corps officer in Vietnam. Every chapter sparked memories and associations for me, even though I have never ridden a horse or visited Montana. This uncanny ability to connect with a widespread and diverse reading population is the unmistakable mark of a gifted writer. A superb memoir.… (mais)
