Intrepid International Tie Safe Adjustable Cross Tie

Wondering if will the Velcro will hold up to some pulling (but not panicking) for a bigger horse learning to stand tied?They do, or at least they did for our 17 h Friesian.Learning to stay tied is a fundamental cornerstone for any horse. Any ‘panic-accident’, if only once might mean you’ll end up with a horse that never stands tied.I own many blocker tie-Rings, these work great for smaller horses and ponies, but not for our 17h Friesian, if excited and not focused on the fact that he is actually tied up. (He will, but learning.)I got these to test, and the Velcro - to my great surprise, did not come off when he pulled forward, so learned to yield (while keeping the other side wrapped around a post, held in my hand.GREAT!!!⚠️ TIP:On Riding Warehouse’s site, the description states that the quick-release safety buckle should be connected to the halter, not to the post, which usually is the case.“Quick-Release Panic Snap Connects to HalterSolid Brass Trigger Snap Connects to Wall/Post”The pictures on this listing shows the opposite.

If you own horses, you know how quickly accidents can happen. This product is safe to use as a cross tie in case a horse pulls away from the ties. The Velcro snaps off safely and you are able to retrieve theHorse right away.

I bought my first pair for my wash stall, around 4 years ago, after building a new barn. I was so pleased with that pair that I have since bought 7 more pairs. No more chain, double ended snaps and baling twine. I cannot comment on the safety factor since I’ve yet to have a horse panic and try to escape. I did also buy sets of the trailer version of these cross ties after I forgot to unsnap a horse when unloading, and she escaped by breaking the leather crown piece of her safety halter. Another lesson learned. Every place I have mounted these XL cross ties is 11ft 6 inches side to side, and they are the perfect length for that spacing. The price has increased by 25% since my first set, but they are still worth the current cost to me.

These crossties are easily adjustable and I like that they incorporate a safety feature beyond just the usual quick-release clasps. They hold my horses in place perfectly, but also give me peace of mind knowing that if someone truly panics, they’ll come apart. Just note that they don’t come in pairs - you have to buy two!

We use the Tie Safes in our trailer and for our cross ties. We needed an extra long version for our miniature horse as the regular ties were just not quite long enough to reach him. The Velcro and band design keeps the tie tight but will release when horse pressure is applied (the lid of the Dumpster slamming unexpectedly in the wind is a great test!) We love that the horses can stay safe, and when they do get loose, they don't have a metal piece swinging and we can grab the tail of the tie to catch them.
