Trailer Ties for Your Horse Trailer
Horse trailer ties are typically a rubber or nylon cord that are used to tie your horse in trailers. They are also great for use in stalls while grooming, attaching to hot-walker machines, and for ties inside your arena if you like to tie your horse while working with others. Many of our adjustable trailer ties feature a size-adjustable buckle on a heavy-duty nylon web strap for durability. Similarly, our rubber ties offer enough give and shock absorbency to keep your horse safe while minimizing panic.
The fact is that horses have a natural tendency to flee when they feel panicked or in danger, so it‘s important to secure them to the trailer and create an environment that doesn‘t trigger panic. That’s why we offer an expansive selection of trailer ties designed for home and travel use. They‘re all made to provide the perfect level of security without limiting your horse‘s movement to the point of panic.
Frequently Asked Questions About Trailer Ties
Should Horses be Tied in a Trailer?
Yes, horses should be tied in the trailer because it helps prevent injury, turning or lying down, while keeping them safe and secured in place. If your horse is not tied, they can easily turn to bite another horse, put their head down and get it stuck underneath the divider, or moving in a way that causes them to panic.
How do you Safely Tie a Horse in a Trailer?
The safest way to tie a horse in a horse trailer is by using a horse trailer tie designed to quickly release in the event of a horse becoming panicked. Rubber ties and bungee ties are great as they give when a horse pulls on them, reducing a horse from reacting strongly to the tension.
