Whenever i tie my horses i just wrapp the lead rope around the post because the horse and pull back if spook but won't hurt himself. If you don't trust your horse for that use a slip knott but be constantly watching him so he doesnt hurt himself.

∙ 13y agoUse a quick release knot and stay close by incase the horse spooks so that you can untie him if you need to. And make sure the pole is very secure!
If he will be tied for a while, consider getting him some hay to munch on to prevent boredom.

∙ 15y agoAlways use a quick release knot when tying a horse to anything.
A pole presents an additional problem because the tie can slide down the pole. If it gets low enough, the horse can get a leg over it. Ideally you wouldn't tie a horse to a pole unless there was a ring screwed into the pole to use. Otherwise you have to find a way to keep the tie from sliding down.

∙ 14y agoWhen tying up a horse, make a slip-knot around the hitching post. If you don't know how to tie a slip-knot, you can Google it for a diagram. After you have tied the knot, start grooming your horse in preparation for tacking. Brush it, currycomb it, pick out it's hooves, etc. Then tack it up. Now, you're ready to ride!!

∙ 15y agoWhen you tie your horse to a pole you should make your horse is in a safe place and nothing is around that could startle him/her. The pole or structure you are tying your horse to should be exceptionallystrong so your horse doesn't break it and you should make sure to tie a slip knot so your horse can escape easily if he/she feels the need to.

When you tie a horse to a poll how should you tie the rope?
Some people believe that you should use a slip release knot. In case of an emergency, you could release the knot easily to un freak your horse. Others believe you should secure a loop of bailing twine (the pink/blue stuff you get with hay) around the pole first so if a horse pulls back, the twine breaks before your halter. At least one of these suggestions should be used when tying a horse as anything else isn't really safe.

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.
