Tying horses

There are two things to remember when tying up a horse:

1) Always tie a horse to a solid, immovable object bigger than the horse.

2) Never pass the rope through anything fixed to the structure you tie them to. Instead, fold the rope first and pass that through the object so that your rope falls away when you pull the end to release the horse quickly. See the video.

A rubber piece provides tension to the metal pinchers. If the horse pulls on the lead, the pinchers will separate releasing the rope.
Cross ties are another way of applying a direct connection to the horse though it is not a connection to you. It does, though. Provide a degree of safety when working on a horse that is far safer than no halter and lead. That said, you must remain vigilant to the horses as I know of many people severely injured by a horse in cross ties.
It is common to tie horses to a trailer but some problem can occur including a fight with the trailer and people getting hurt.
