Shires Bungee Breakaway Trailer Tie - Shock Absorbing Horse Safety Tie with Panic Release Clip - Black

Protect your horse from the jarring jolts of travel and the risks of pulling back with a trailer tie that prioritizes safety above all else. This dual-action bungee system absorbs sudden shocks to protect the delicate poll area while providing a reliable breakaway mechanism for total peace of mind in any environment.

Crafted with high-quality, web-covered elastic, the Shires Bungee Breakaway Trailer Tie is engineered to withstand the demands of the stable and the road. Unlike rigid ropes, this tie offers a controlled "give" that reduces anxiety for nervous travelers, backed by heavy-duty hardware designed for quick, single-handed operation when every second counts.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Shock-Absorbing Bungee Design: The 60cm (approx. 24") unstretched length provides the perfect buffer to absorb sharp jolts, significantly reducing pressure on the horse's head and neck during transport.
• Dual-Action Safety Hardware: Features a robust swivel trigger clip on one end and a high-visibility panic release clip on the other for immediate manual release even under heavy tension.
• Critical Touch-Close Breakaway: The innovative Velcro-style system is engineered to release under extreme pressure, preventing catastrophic injury or equipment damage if a horse panics or pulls back violently.
• Integrated Short Lead Recovery: In the event of a breakaway, the design ensures a short section remains attached to the headcollar, making it significantly easier and safer to catch and secure your horse.
• Multi-Setting Versatility: A must-have for the trailer, stable, or yard, this tie serves as a safer alternative to traditional lead ropes for cross-tying, grooming, or securing horses in high-traffic areas.
• Durable Web-Covered Elastic: Built for longevity and professional aesthetics, the heavy-duty webbing protects the internal bungee from wear and tear while maintaining its sleek black finish.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is the 60cm length suitable for most trailers?
A: Absolutely. The 60cm (24 inch) length is the ideal "buffer" size, providing enough give to reduce poll pressure while remaining short enough to prevent your horse from attempting to turn around in the trailer.

Q: How does the breakaway feature help if my horse spooks?
A: If your horse pulls back with significant force, the touch-close Velcro system releases. This prevents the "snap-back" effect of traditional bungees and ensures the horse is freed without breaking your trailer rings or injuring their neck.

Q: Can I use this for cross-tying in the barn?
A: Yes, this is a favorite for yard use. The combination of the panic release and the shock-absorption makes it much safer than a standard lead rope for grooming or washing, especially with young or flighty horses.
