Using inner tube to tie??

I have one. It did work for while, but not anymore. And I can't use it on my qh: she'll pull ANY long rope up to the end (way too smart).

Just one more question... Does anyone use just a standing post to tie the horses? That's what I have and they dance around it till they left without the rope (it's all wrapped around the post ). Is there any cure for that? (putting a rail is not an option)...

A neck rope is a soft rope about 10 feet long with a good snap fastened to one end. A few feet along the rope knotted into the line is a strong rind. The rope is put around the neck and snapped into the ring, not too tight but tight enough for the horse not to slip it. Adjusting the knot determines the fit around the neck. The other end passes through the halter ring and that is the line you tie with. Tie about arms lenth, eye or wither height to something solid and let the horse figure it out.
100's of horses belong to the amish attend church or market near me and every one EVERY ONE wears a neck rope, no exceptions and they stay put.

Thank you, RiosDad!

Have you considered teaching them to ground tie? If they are so antzy on the lead, while teaching ground tying, you have the ability to put their butts to work; they soon figure out that standing still is much easier than having to work (longe). Worked like a charm on my Appy; he was extremely antzy when I got him, and it took just a few times for him to learn to stand ground tied, and I could walk away, get his tack, wave things around him, etc, and he wouldn't budge. Improved his opinion on being tied to a post, or cross tie too...he was more than happy to stand still, rather than move around, because I think he thought I could still put him to work.

Once they know how to ground tie, reteaching them to actually tie, can be easier too, because you can start with just slipping the lead over the fence, and challenging them to move; yet you still have the power to put them to work.

I don't think tying or teaching a horse how to tie\retie, has to be a 'battle of the wills' or simply a 'lets tie the horse up to a solid object and let him fight it out'...teach the horse to use his head about it, and he will figure it out a lot sooner, and probably not get hurt in the process.

mom2pride, lunging doesn't help a bit on my paint, unfortunately, but makes the whole situation just worse. I tried ground tie and they stand in ring. As long as I get out (or especially go to the park) they don't ground tie anymore. :(

you can get bungee trailer ties...i use them sometimes [i had a pony that would NOT tie] they def can break them, but they would have to fight/pull for hours

Do not use bungee trailer ties! Chances are when they do break, it's when they are all stretched out and under a lot of pressure. When they retract it'll most likely smack the horse in the face since it's tied to their halter. Or it can hit people - my friend got hit in the nose at a show when her horse acted - he was tied with a bungee tie - broke her nose.

OUCH ! never mind then !

not gonna lie i just tied my horse to a fence post & let her stand. she ties really well now, & once shes tied she basically goes to sleep no matter where she is. she never pulled hard against it or tried to fight though.

When I used to use an inner tube to teach tying with, I just put it around a tree. I used a large tractor tube. I did cut the valve stem out as they are very long on those tubes and can be a hazard. If you have posts set you can use a regular tube.
Just wrap it around the tree and run your rope through it . Check this site for photos, its a good one- Tying a Young Horse Cherry Hill's Newborn Foal

The whole idea behind either the ring or tube method is teaching to give to pressure and the release of the pressure brings the reward.
