Stay calm, let it spook, talk quietly, if he starts running tell him to "whoa" .. and yeah .. not much, just let it happen and reassure the horse after he's done freaking out .

When you tie your horse to a post you should....?

Tie a loose knot that will give if he spooks or runs You should not tie a loose knot. Actually when tieing your horse you should use a knot..but it is called a safety knot.The way the safety knot works is your horse can't untie himself but the handler can simply free the horse if the situation arised. You should tie a loose knot that will give if he spooks or run or else you could choke the horse.


Should you tie you horse with a loose knot that will give if he spooks or runs?

yes. If your horse spooks while hes tied he may strangle himself in the struggle to break free. many horses have died this way. not necessary i work with horses everyday, i do knots so that if theres an emergancy i just give one pull and there free but so that they cant be strangled or escape.


When leading a horse do you walk in front of it to show it where to go?

A horse has extremely good peripheral eyesight so you do not have to lead a horse from the front. You can stand next to it to be safe and lead it with its reign or rope.No, never walk in front of a horse. You guide at the shoulder. If the horse gets a fright and spooks, who's gonna get run over? No, walk on the left shouldre of the horse.if the horse knows you it may follow you. if you're a stranger to it, it probably wont follow you.


Do horses have good memories?

Depending. If your horse tries to buck you off scold him immediately not in 3 seconds then he'll forget, but if a stallion was gelded at three or up he might remember it. Horses do have good memories. They mostly remember if something that spooked them. For example, if your horse spooks at the sound of thunder, he probably spooked at that when he was at a younger age.


When you tie a horse to a post do you tie a loose not that will give if he spooks or runs or you should never tie a horse or tie a very tight not to stop it from getting away or none of these?

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
