How To Safely Teach A Horse To Tie

Most horse owners need to or want to Tie their horse up sometime. Maybe they want to tie the horse to a rail for grooming, saddling or they want to tie to a trailer at a show or maybe at a trail ride they want to tie to a tree to have a cuppa.
Whatever the reason, no horse "wants" to be tied, because it means they are stuck and cannot run away. However, horses can be taught to remain calm when tied.
Sadly though, many people don't know how (or they "assume" the horse is ok and they tie the horse and the horse "pulls back" and feels the halter as the rope goes tight and then the Panic hits and they fight for freedom.
I show you in the video, the dangers of tying an unprepared horse AND the progressive and safe way to teach your horse to become calm and be able to "come forward" if they pull the rope tight.

Hope this works I had my horse tied and she pulled up and started panicking knocked me over cause the gate flew up and hit me and pulled that gate to the center of the pasture🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

What about if I have an old 25year-old gelding and he is fine being tied unless he gets spooked and as soon as he feels he can’t escape pulling back he panickes, is he too old for me to use this method??

They sell “Tie Rings” you attach to the post and run your lead through that allows the rope to slip through the ring when the horse panics but not get away .

Find a tall tree with a strong limb to tie to higher than the horse’s head. When they pull back the head goes up, the hind quarters slide forward and the horse thinks they have reached the end of the world. They will jump forward. Go off and leave them to work it out by themselves, no human involved. They will still be there when you return and you will be the one who rescued them.

Hi my horse was taught to tie correctly but got a bad scare once when tied up and instead of pulling back he went up and over the hitching post. Now he pulls and then bolts forward. If he had been on the end of your lead rope in this video he would have reared over your head and tried to leap the round yard. Any tips?

Thank you this is great my horse can pull away from me. She did it once now it's every time she gets scared or it she just wants to leave run around and go to another bit of grass. I heard about the 2 or 3 rap way .she has broken rope halters broke hitching post and snapped top off a panel. It had rust I didn't know. Looking for a tie thing that looks like half a snap ple bit .you could try one and do a video with it. You can rap rope .once and it slides 2 harder and so on . Forgot the name.I just subscribed I'll be waiting for that and doing your rap tomarrow..☺️👍🐎
