Learn how to tie your horse safely with AQHA’s Free Report.
Tie your horse’s lead rope too high, and you’re asking for trouble. Tie it too low, and your horse could end up in a big wreck.
Tie an incorrect knot, and you won’t be able to release it in an emergency.
A correctly tied lead rope is extremely important, whether you’re tying your horse in a trailer, to a stall wall, to a picket line or to a fence.

“People often ask me where I learn the many tips I suggest to them. All I have to say is that I am an avid reader of Americas Horse Daily. Americas Horse Daily has proven to be a great resource for me. I especially enjoy the training and showing tips. I am one of those people who likes learning and trying new things with my horses. I love how I can print out the free reports and have a written copy to take out and use in the barn. The articles and tips are brief but detailed enough for anyone to use. This is ideal for my busy lifestyle. I often find myself sharing the free reports with my daughter and her 4-H friends at clinics and other events. The greatest reward is to place in the show ring, and I find satisfaction in knowing that I did the work all by myself, without the use of a costly professional trainer. It just goes to show that you can be successful with good information and the ambition to see it through. The difference between try and triumph is a little ‘umph!’ “

Thanks for such clear instructions and illustrations. I was taught how to tie a lead rope in a Frank Bell Clinic and have been unable to remember how it was done. This is not the exact one they used, but it sure works for me. Whew!

Cannot download anything from your web site.
I am interested in ordering as well, but will not type my charge card
into any web site. Is there a problem in phoning you for a purchase?

Ned, this report (and many others we offer on America’s Horse Daily) is free.
You just need a program that allows you to open PDFs, like Adobe Reader, which is free: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Thanks for your interest, and let us know what additional information you’d like to see on this site.
