visually visible if a Hitching Post is occupied

Idea
To make it visually clear if a Hitching Post is occupied.

Reason
This way, if you have multiple Hitching Post, you won't have to search each one until you find an empty one.
*This mainly applies to horse hitching post, but can also be done on trees.

Possible implementation:
Currently, Hitching Post display two ropes: one wrapped four times and one coiled. Could this be changed so that if no animal is tied to the post, only the coiled rope is displayed? If an animal is tied to the post, a second rope, wrapped four times, is added.

Visual indicators simplify interactions with objects, making them more immersive and enjoyable.
I'm constantly trying to find an empty Hitching Post among several others, and it sometimes gets annoying – "Which one is free?! Why can't I see it?"

You can also add a "unleash" interaction to a Hitching Post.
For example, I want to tie my animal to this hitching post. Finding which animal is tied to this particular pole is quite difficult—I have to go through them all and retie them.
