	A hitch is a quick, easy knot used to tie a rope to a post. The clove hitch is the said to be easiest and quickest to tie, so it probably was used extensively by riders. However, the rolling or magnus hitch was probably used by the person who drove a buggy or wagon. This hitch was similar to the clove hitch but was less likely to slip. The whole idea was to prevent the horse from wandering away.		A hitch is a quick, easy knot used to tie a rope to a post.
