  • A horse should be tied to something at a level between its eyes and muzzle while it is standing at its normal head height.

  • The length of the lead rope to be used when tying should be equal to the distance from the horse's muzzle to the ground as it stands at its normal head height. This length allows the horse enough slack to be comfortable.
