Hope this helps, and was the answer that you were looking for.
I tie all or mine at about 5 ft high. The top rail of my pipe fencing is 5ft, my trailer ties are that high also, same with the tie rings in the barn and stalls.
the method ....which i have seen pics of ....is completely different and the are hooked to a line way over their head...and the ring slid along the higher rope ...my books are packed right now ...so i'll see what i can find out about that method...
here is one example....
