There are a few basic rules when tying your horse.
-Don't tie your horse with his bridle or leather halter. Always use a nylon halter and lead rope or nylon cross or trailer tie.
-Always tie with a quick release knot. If your horse panicks and you need to untie him quickly you want a knot that can be untied with one pull.
-Never tie your horse too far above his head or too low that he can't put his head up and look around. A good rule of thumb is about eye level too upper chest level.
-Make sure that whatever you are tying him to is very strong, usually sunk in cement. Horses, especially frightened horses, are incrediablly strong. You don't want to tie to something flimsy or easily broken.
-Always make sure that the immediate area is free from anything a horse could get tangled in, bump into, eat or chew, step in, ect.
If you follow these simple rules you and your horse should stay safe.

There are certain knots you can learn that will enable quick releasing of a horse when the horse is in a danger or the handler.

How tight do you tie a horses head when breaking?
If you are asking about training a horse to stand still while tying you should never tie a horse up tightly. To begin with the young horse should be taught to stand still while a human holds the rope, afterward you can simply loop it through a tie ring. If the horse pulls back it learns it will not hurt itself due to the slack and be less afraid of being tied. As the horse progresses, you can and should teach it to stand tied with the rope fastened into a quick release knot. Tying a horse up tight to anything can result in the horse destroying the object in an attempt to get away, the horse pulling or injuring muscles in it's neck or back, or even the horse breaking it's neck.
