Keep your left trigger held down. Then walk over to your target, which should be on the ground (unless its a horse you're trying to break) and a button will pop up to hogtie the target.
If you just want to drag them through town, I think you just need to keep the trigger held down and ride. I think that might eventually kill them though.
I get a little spazzy sometimes with a controller in my hand.....I'll see if I can keep my cool and pull it off. thanks. This game is a great time-waster....and I say that in the best way possible.
