Horse Tie Ring, Safe Tie Horse Supplies, Humane Way Tie Ring, Magnetic Ring for Tying and Retracting, Helps Horse Pull Back and Releases Stress from The Horse

Well made. Heavy duty. I like that it comes with a sturdy eye screw, so it can have a permanent place to hang, but using it with the heavy duty carabena means I can literally take it anywhere. I originally bought one for using when we go out to trails etc., and then ordered two more for my horse trailer to tie horses while traveling. So much safer than regular trailer ties! I'll be ordering more for various places in the barn too. I highly recommend.A note about using them inside my trailer instead of trailer ties: I have a couple of horses that i haul that try to sit back, and if someone decides to "help" me unload them by taking down the butt bar before they're untied - they can try to fly out backwards, especially once they feel the pressure from the rope and panic. Using this insteqd means I can just use their lead rope, and if they do sit back, they won't freak out from the pressure. It has worked wonders for them (along with proper trailer training), are not panicking when they try to sit back (even with the butt bar there), and are starting to back off quietly now.

I've had several Blocker II tie rings and bought this one to see how it compared since it was less expensive. Very close in weight and feel. Time will tell about corrosion. Not much of an issue since I don't have them out in the exposed elements much. You may want a larger carabiner clip depending on your horse trailer hardware. A minor issue inside my Trails West slant load but fine on the exterior tie points.

These were recommended by a friend and I have two but I want the everywhere! Clip is very heavy duty.

The media could not be loaded.  This is made with stainless steel so it is strong and resistant to corrosion.Everything is nicely wrapped in plastic to keep it unscratched during shipping:Included in the box:1) A metal screw in eye to put into a wood beam.2) Spring Link that will connect the tie ring to the screw eye.3) Magnetic tie ring.4) User manual.The magnetic part is an arm that makes it very simple. Just fold your rope into a U and slip that U in the rope into the part of this tie ring where there is a big O. Then push the magnetic arm up into that rope U so the rope is behind it and then the magnet will hold that arm in place. (See UPLOADED VIDEO)-This tie down is made so the rope can retract, which means it can be pulled through the ring when the horse pulls backward to relieve tension. Then the horse should have no discomfort or harm if agitated or frightened. The magnetic arm does create a small amount of friction or pressure to slow down the movement of the rope.-The rope will slip around the magnetic arm as advertised. How fast it will go through depends on the rope size, material it is made with, and, of course, how heavy, strong and excited the horse is.-MY CONCERNS:When I tie my horse to a sturdy object I want them to stay there. This tie down allows the horse to move backward to relieve tension by allowing more rope to slip through the tie down.-The big question on this product is:WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE END OF THE ROPE GOES OUT OF THIS TIE DOWN?I see a horse walking/running around with a 6ft rope that they could step on or even run out to a street and get injured.-Also, if a certain horse always tries to pull away when tied up, I feel using this will just reinforce that horse’s bad behavior.-The video I uploaded shows a possible solution or at least a slowing down of the rope by double looping the magnetic arm. Also, a knot could be put at the end of the rope but then the question is with all that moving weight will the buckle still hold.-The listing for this is all correct. It does exactly as advertised. Because of this and that it works as advertised, I am giving this more stars than I feel I should. Just because it doesn’t work for me, doesn’t mean there aren’t a lot of horse owners who need this type of tie down.-I cannot recommend this buckle except for experienced horse owners who would use it under controlled situations where the horse if gets loose cannot go anywhere.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 25 plus years of owning donkeys, mules, and horses, it’s that the one thing you didn’t prepare for is what is most likely to happen. When tying up equids of any sort, there is always the risk that an unexpected visitor of some sort will spook your tied up horse, who will rear back, and if the pull is strong enough and they’re tied too tightly, the result could be a tragic disaster. I get traumatized just imagining such a thing, so one thing I have always insisted on is the use of either safety knots where you can pull on one end to release the lead rope instantly or this type of tie ring. The advantage of the tie ring is that you don’t have to learn how to tie the lead rope properly. The idea behind tie rings is that it will allow a horse (or donkey or mule) to move backwards when tied by permitting movement of the rope through the ring. Remember that when a horse’s head is restricted, they can’t see well. When spooked, that means they cannot assess the situation, which leads to panic. If you had a neck brace on that only permitted you to look straight ahead, and you hear something rustling behind and approaching you, wouldn’t you panic if you couldn’t turn your head to see what’s coming? I only use this type when I’m within the perimeter fencing of my property because if the horse should pull the rope completely off the tie ring, I do not want them running off the property. My experience with these is that 99% of the time, the horse can pull back enough to get a good look at what spooked them and they then stop pulling. But see the one thing I’ve learned. Never rely on “always” or “99%.” This tie ring is reasonably well made and heavy, and the eye bolt is a nice length to avoid being pulled out of the wood. I don’t yet know how it will do over time with the weather, but if I run into problems, I’ll revise this at that time.
