Durable molded rubber with heavy duty 5" die case trigger snaps for maximum security. Excellent for teaching young horses to tie, allows some give while being very difficult to break. 30" long. Never leave an inexperienced or nervous horse unattended when tied. For best results, you should attach this to your wall with a very durable and well mounted piece of high quality hardware. Mount the hardware high enough for horse to stand tied comfortably, but up high enough so that a horse pulling back cannot get leverage. Horse will learn that it is easier to stand quietly than to resist tying. Some older horses may not be able to learn to stand quietly when tied, especially if they have had bad experiences in the past. Rubber GUARANTEED for TWO years.
