Dura-Tech® Extra Heavy Rubber Horse Tie

The Dura-Tech® Extra Heavy Rubber Horse Tie comes in two lengths: 24" and 36". For most trailers, the 36" length gives you more flexibility in where you can tie your horse, while the 24" works well for shorter distances or stall ties. Consider your specific setup and how much slack you want to give your horse while keeping them secure.

Yes, these rubber ties are excellent for young horses learning to tie safely. The ¾" thick rubber absorbs shock and provides enough give to minimize panic if your horse pulls back, which is especially helpful during trailer training or stall training when options for tie points are limited. Multiple customers specifically praised these ties for training purposes with young horses.

The key differences are the heavy ¾" thick rubber construction paired with sturdy 1" brass-plated snaps instead of traditional knots or lighter materials. The rubber absorbs shock and stretches safely when a horse panics or pulls back, while the brass snaps are extremely durable and can't be undone by horses that know how to untie knots. Customers report these ties hold up significantly better than alternatives and truly keep horses secure.

Absolutely—the Dura-Tech® Extra Heavy Rubber Horse Tie is versatile enough to use as a permanent set of cross ties, as a backup tie at the trailer, or as an individual tie in a stall. The shock-absorbing rubber makes it a safer option for cross tying compared to rigid materials, especially if your horse tends to panic or pull.

The snaps are heavy-duty 1" brass-plated snaps designed to withstand significant pulling and stress. Customer reviews consistently highlight that these ties hold up even with horses that actively test the strength of their restraints, and the snaps are less likely to fail than connection points on lighter-duty ties.

The product description doesn't specify special maintenance requirements beyond standard care. The ¾" thick rubber and brass-plated snaps are built to be durable and long-lasting, so basic cleaning and storage away from extreme conditions should keep them in good working order for years.

Yes, this is an excellent choice for escape artists and horses that test their ties. Unlike rope ties that can be untied and regular knots that clever horses can work loose, the solid rubber construction with brass snaps eliminates those escape routes while the shock absorption prevents the panic that often triggers pulling or resistance.
