Easy-Tie Clip Make tying a snap —
literally — with The Clip
from Smart Tie. Thread
a standard, five-eighthsinch-diameter,10-footlong
poly lead line
through The Clip’s ring
at the desired length,
and adjust the friction
ring to set the amount of
pull appropriate for your
horse. You’re set to clip
onto a tie ring whenever
you’re ready; no repeated
tying required. Cost:
$22.95.
Safe Trailer-Tying System
The Complete HiTie Tether System from Sportack was
developed to provide a comfortable, safe alternative to
traditional trailer-tying methods and portable corrals. It gives
your horse room to move and access to an area equivalent
to a 13-foot-diameter round pen. This safe, controlled movement
allows him to graze, eat, drink, roll, and lie down while
tied to your trailer. Cost: $325.
