Right click the hitching post again to disconnect - the lead(s) will drop on the ground nearby. SWEM hitching posts have a custom connection added, so the loops of custom hitching does not show the vanilla rope knot texture. 

Cross ties (SWEM Horse only) can connect to two hitching posts - disconnecting will drop 2 leads.
