NEVER tie a tight knot when tying a horse. Horses get tangled in their lead ropes often when tied. Many, (if not most) horses will panic. When horses panic, they quickly and easily do great harm to themselves. If the rope is too long, horses will get it caught around their legs or fetlocks and can very quickly get a horrible and painful rope burn that requires daily cleaning and medication and a lot of time to heal. They can easily strangle or hang themselves and die. In fact, many have. That's why you should always tie what is called a quick release knot. Some call it a safety knot, meaning you can very quickly untie the knot if the horse gets into trouble. Trying to explain it here in words is almost impossible. It would be better if you could get someone to show you how to tie a quick release. OR - There are many good diagrams on Google images.
