When tying a horse to the hitching post, you should make a slip-knot. You can find a diagram on how to make a slip-knot by maybe using Google or Bing. You want to make a slip-knot because if something happens when you are interacting with your horse, say if your horse spooks or a car is heading for your horse, you can pull the end of the knot and it will break free so the horse can run away safely and quickly. By using the slip-knot method, you AND your horse will not be in danger of things that you can't move away from quickly because if you tied him up with just a regular old square knot, you would have to have some pretty fast fingers to untie that kind of knot.

∙ 11y agoTo tie a horse up, it is always best to use a knot that unties very easily. The reason for this is that if the horse gets frightened of something and rears, bucks, etc..., you should always be able to untie the knot quickly and easily, in case it does something dangerous like rearing up, and risks breaking its neck.

When training a horse, you wanna tie a knot that is tighter but will give. but if you are talking about a trained horse, you should be able to just tie it loose. so if the horse does spook it can get away. because if the horse does spook and cannot get away, the horse will go into flight mood and will more than likely break the halter of lead and run for a long time; where as if the horse can get away he/she might run away from the post, but will more than likely stop before he/she gets to far. u should tie your horse up with a quick release knot
