Blocker Tie Ring II

A safe way to tie a horse that may pull back. Excellent quality, easy to use. I keep one in every trailer and where I tie up

Easy to use and solid, wish I had gotten this earlier for my mare who occasionally pulls back. A bit pricey but I will order several more for my wash rack and trailer.

I made the mistake of hard-tying my horse to a fence post for "just a moment," thinking that I'd finally gotten him trained not to pull back, and you can guess what happened. Despite having purposely left lots of slack in the rope above the knot so that it would give a bit if he spooked he hit the end and damn near took down the barn before I got him to quit setting back. I learned my lesson and bought the Blocker Tie Ring. We'd used them at previous boarding barns and had great success but I didn't have one at our new home. We do now! It really helps keep him from panicking and going into fight mode.

I had a previous tie ring that some how disappered, so I hope whomever has it uses it and enjoys it. I find it great from when a horse seems to think it necessary to pull back and lead rope slides through it quite easily.Great Product

The price is much better than at local tack shops in my area. I keep one in each of the positions in my horse trailer. I have a couple in my tack shed with chains attached so I can attach them around hitching rails etc.I also have a couple that I use when connecting to the ties on my horse trailer. Horses panic now and then and can hurt themselves and break just about anything. I have a wonderful mare that is super strong. She has pulled a hitching rail completely apart, pulled a lead rope so hard the metal clip where the rope double back broke, etc. etc. These things slip and catch. The horse stops pulling when they slip. Great product.

This is very strong and did the job to help my horse who pulls back... however, I don't know if I would recommend it because it got rusty immediately. I didn't leave it out in the rain or anything... it was out when it was foggy at night, so it was exposed to some ambient moisture. I am thinking about the stainless steel one, but the price on that is ridiculous.

I have a horse that loves to pull back, and I use this at my grooming staion/wash rack. It has assisted me in training him to stand steady and it is very easy to use. They do rust up if out in the elements like mine but it still moves easily.

Best purchase I’ve made for my horse. I have a horse with special needs...he’s 3 and has a neurological condition and had surgery for it this past summer, meaning he can’t have trauma to his neck. Since he’s young and delicate, it’s been hard to teach him any manners, how to tie, be patient, etc. I can’t tie him like a normal horse...even using some baking twine takes too much pressure to break to be safe for him. But it’s been nearly impossible to handle him even just to groom since I have no one to hold him for me. This has been a life saver. Before we knew the extent of his neck problems and I tried to teach him to tie, he would occasionally pull back and either panic or break his halter, which could kill him now. But with the blocker ring in his stall, I can now “tie” him without worry. If he starts to pull back or whatever, the lead slips out with little pressure, and I got a really long rope so he doesn’t get loose. And after using it a few weeks, he seems to be much more confident that he’s not trapped, but also knows he can just break free either...so he’s getting MUCH better at tying and not pulling back. I just purchased a second one and a second rope so we can graduate to cross tying in an aisle, and I am relieved that I won’t have to stress out about him hurting himself, while I can finally be able to work with him properly and without him being all over the place. Best investment so far for my little guy’s case.
