Quick Release Knot by Anne Dawson

How to tie the British Horse Society recommended quick release knot to secure a horse to a loop of baler twine attached to a strong support (barn wall, fence, tree etc.). Note that the loop is at head height. on the wall. For reasons of simplicity and clarity a metal ring replaces the baler twine in this demonstration.

@paigepony The whole ring is more likely to come off from the wall, but yeah it is advised, even though it teaches your horse an awful lesson. Horse psychology, pressure and release. The horse gets pressure (pulling back on the rope) and yanks, breaks the string and finds release, so then the horse learns, if he is uncomfortable being tied, he can just snap the string and he will be fine. Not criticising you, just saying :)

@xxHannahxxTobyxx

As i said, its recomended :) and i agree with you on the snapping lead rope problem lol.

@paigepony

my horse pulled back with no bailing string.

and as i learned.

leadropes snap pretty fine and their heads dont get injured.

but its a bugger when your horse keeps snapping leadropes

[H0rseL0ver15]

i've been using this! :D it's so easy and quick!! the only problem is that when a horse spooks and pulls on the lead really fast, it becomes soooo tight that you can't pull it loose and they end up breaking the lead =( how do you keep that from happening?

[paigepony]

For those arguing, it is RECOMMENDED that you use bale twine on a tie ring before tieing up your horse :) Its because the horse can cause damage to their head and maybe jarring in the neck. Your horse may not be "the type to pull back" but theyre really unpredictable animals. its just a safety precaution.
