Claim 8:
9. A method of releasably securing a horse to a fixed object, the method comprising:
attaching a hook to a halter that is secured to the horse, the hook being attached to a first end of a single piece unitary strap consisting of a single piece webbing;
attaching a second end of the strap to a fixed object by:
joining a first interlocking part attached to a first side of the strap to a second interlocking part attached to the first side of the strap to lock the first interlocking part to the second interlocking part, wherein the joining of the first interlocking part to the second interlocking causes a foldable strap portion between the first interlocking part and the second interlocking part to form an opening through which the fixed object can extend;

said first interlocking part being longitudinally spaced from said second interlocking part on the first side of the strap by the foldable strap portion, wherein a thickness of the first interlocking part and a thickness of the second interlocking part is greater than a thickness of the foldable strap portion; and
releasing the first interlocking part from the second interlocking part when a movement of the horse causes a shear force to be exerted onto the strap in a longitudinal direction in a manner that does not break the first interlocking part and the second interlocking part and enables the first interlocking part and the second interlocking part to be rejoined and interlocked in a reusable manner.
