If you tie your horse to a post how should you tie the knot?

Answer 1

Horses are not typically tied to a post by their reins - It is not unusual to tie a horse to a hitching ring or rail with a half hitch. This has little resistance and an untrained horse can simply pull away from it.

Answer 2

when i helped out at a riding school they taught me to first;put the rope around the post so you have the leadrope that's attached to the horse and the free end facing you. then cross the free end over the end attached to your horse over,so it sort of looks like a backwards four shape(note:make sure you have enough rope to do this otherwise the next part will fail) and then make a loop with the still free end of the backwards four,and push that through the loop you have automatically made in the backwards four shape..if it works you should have two loops,if you do then all you do is pull the two loops,making sure not to pull the loops out or the loop shape,until they are both tight.id practice this a few times first to make sure you can do it so you don't end up losing your horse.that's what i did because i found it a little hard at first. the big paragraph ive written makes it look like a massively huuuge task,but i just wanted to explain it in detail to make it easier:) i hope my advice has been of some help:)
