Answer to Question 1

To ensure the safety of both horses and handlers, the following rules should be adhered to
when tying horses:
Always use a quick release knot.
Secure to a solid post or hitching rack. Never tie to gates, fence rails, or the like.
Lead ropes should be tied short and high enough to prevent the animal from lifting a leg
over the rope.
Ensure a minimum of 12 feet between animals.

Answer to Question 2

Braiding back can also be used to form a permanent loop in the rope and to build rope halters.
