ok give her a break, in case you guys dont listen at the start of the video, these are her OPINIONS, they arent necessarily they way you have to do it, they are just the way that she knows how and it works for her and her horse. it may not work for you, and thats fine, but dont go insulting her for having an opinion.

that's the worse knot I have ever seen. the second time it is not even a knot. Leave the horse tied with that knot, go for a pee, and you will return to an empty fence! And you tie the horse slightly longer. And you want to have it tied to the post. Swining I wish I knew how to make a video to show you how it is done! Sorry, she is really bad, but technology is not my strong point!

I don't really have a problem with the knot she's tying. Whatever works... but... tying to a fence rail??? That's a disaster waiting to happen.

I tie my horse at the same length and with the same concept. I just really add loops in the quick release, one of our horses actually figured out how to untie himself O.o we nicknamed him Houdini. :P Also, you can tie your horse to a rail, especially if it's a thick Cedar rail. I wouldn't tie my horse to a post because there is no room for a quick release, or for it to successfully happen.

im not being nasty, but i don't understand :-/

@NeveseveN777 yes, but if you use bailing twine, it is less likely to break the halter. A leather/breakaway halter is safer than a rope one

@breyerhorsegirl37 it is one way of tying a quick release. I use it all the time and it works quite well. you might be thinking of thehighway mans hitch witch is better if you have a horse that fights since it will release under presure more effectively.

I agree that most of her advice is not what I would consider decent.

ok., why so much negative feedback?? well am watching these vids couse i just got my new horse and i dont know how much about the care he needs., why instead of the negative comments ya dont post the right way (to you) on how to do this., so newbies like me learn what to do.,

[breyerhorsegirl37]

@spoilageplaythin omg if shes so beautiful why does she need makeup? obviously your trying to get our money so go away you retard

[breyerhorsegirl37]

@kazziejazzie08 also at 1:23 she would still have to take another 10 second to pull the lead rope over the bar

[breyerhorsegirl37]

@kazziejazzie08 its not the right way to tie a quick release knot tho

[breyerhorsegirl37]

@flutterhigh thats not how you tie a quick release knot obviously you are as stupid as kelly
