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.

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

How should you teach a horse to ground tie?

This is too complex of a subject to be answered here. Do a search on ground tieing you will find lots of sites that will provide guidance on training a horse to ground tie. Just keep in mind that ground tieing should only be used in specific short term circumstances. A ground tied horse should not be left alone. Don't tie a horse to an object that they are able to move, remember horses are big strong animals and they are also ofter very spooky, once they are scared you would be amazed at how strong their flight instinct can be.
