Cocadori, I always tie her with a bowline and have a knife handy. She has been a puller in the past and I tie with a bowline and the rope halter. Neither will give and she has learned it's not worth the effort, but I still tie with that so if she does I can untie the knot again.
Will, I believe some areas were planted during the CC time. Lots of pines in straight rows and columns.
1/2 hitch and no matter how hard they pull back on it the knot is easy for you to pull, no knife necessary
