Sometimes if there isn't a ring to attach the lead rope to, you can just pull it between two bars on the stall.

I've always been told to never tie the rope to anything solid (like a ring) because if the horse pannics they can break their neck. Always tie the rope to a looped peice of rope on the ring or to the haynet.

i agree with qwerty that you must never tie a horse to somthing solid for the same reson. just get some binder twine ( any strog string will do )and tie that to the ring bar or fence you want to tie your horse to ( of course not using the quick relese not for the string/binder twine!) and tie the lead roap to that

I always practice the quick release knot on a shoe lace, Its good practice and you can pretend that a cup handle is the ring!how can the horse pannic and what for

At my local riding school I have found out a better and easier way to do a quick release knot. Ive saw three different ways to do it so far and the one I learnt has to be the easiest. All you do is do step one just by threading the rope through the loop of string. Then all you have to do is cross one part of the rope over the other part and then with the part that you have just crossed over, pull it through the circle youve just made and it makes the hoop, then just keep pulling till it tighens then its done! Sorry this sound very confusing but it is easy. !

In response to Lisa's question why would a horse panic - it could get scared by a sudden noise, or simply decide that it doesnt want to be there and then panic because it finds itself unable to go where it wants. There are many reasons.

How do you do a quick release knot when you hang a haynet up?

NEVER EVER tie a horse to a haynet, Qwerty, if your horse gets spooked, or is waiting and gets upset, he may try to break free, but he can't, because the object the haynet is tied to is solid, so he will get upset, and get hurt!!!!!!!!!!
NEVER EVER TIE A HORSE TO A HAYNET, EVEN IF YOUR HORSE IS CALM!!!!!!!!!

I have heard some horrible stories of horses being tied using the quick release knot which was attached to baler twine. Baler twine is extremely strong and if the horse did get a fright it would take alot of force to break the it-usually the head collar snaps before the twine! I would advise cutting the twine using scissors so that it is slightly easier to break (not so that if the horse tugs it will break!!) in an emergency.

The easiest thing to use is a quick-release trailer tie if you want to tie your horse up. These are great. You loop it around anything, even if its strong since not all people have twine around. If there is too much presure, the tie will pop loose or you can quickly reach up and pop it loose yourself. I use these on overnight trail rides since I do not bring portable pens with me. I just use the trailer ties to tie my horses to the rings on the side of the trailer (not in the trailer). I've had horses spook and I didn't have to touch them, since the trailer tie popped loose when they reared or such.
