A holding device for a lead rope (25) of a horse has a horizontal channel for the rope defined between upper and lower pairs of projecting fingers (5, 6). A latch element (9) is pivoted between the lower fingers (6) so that it can move up to a vertical position at which it closes the front of the channel. A lever (15) is pivoted behind a lower part of the latch element (9). The rope (25) has a knot (26) at one end. When the lever (15) is vertical this holds the latch element (9) vertical so that the rope (25) cannot be pulled out of the channel. When the lever (15) is pivoted to one side, the latch element (9) can swing down to open the channel and allow release of the rope (25). <IMAGE> |
