Usage
Hitching posts function very much like fences when right clicked with a lead (vanilla or SWEM lead & anchor) and have equestrian-friendly designs for various purposes. Mini versions are available and can be placed on the ground, fences or walls. SWEM hitching posts have a custom connection added, so the loops of custom hitching does not have the vanilla rope knot texture.
Right click a hitching post while holding an attached lead to connect the entity's lead to the hitch. Multiple entities can be connected to a single hitching post if enough leads are owned. Right click the hitching post again to disconnect - the lead(s) will drop on the ground nearby.
Cross ties (SWEM Horse only) can connect to two hitching posts - disconnecting will drop 2 leads.
