Blocker Tie Ring II

Works great!

this is an amazing invention- my horse has a problem with very occasionally pulling back if something scares him. It is dangerous- he pulls until something breaks. If he pulls back when tied to this, it lets the rope out, but you have enough time to grab the rope, and he doesn't get hurt. It seems to also teach him not to pull back, once he feels there isn't a hard resistance, he stops and stands there. There are different ways to tie to increase resistance- I've only used the easiest one. Won't tie my horse to anything else!

I made the mistake of hard-tying my horse to a fence post for "just a moment," thinking that I'd finally gotten him trained not to pull back, and you can guess what happened. Despite having purposely left lots of slack in the rope above the knot so that it would give a bit if he spooked he hit the end and damn near took down the barn before I got him to quit setting back. I learned my lesson and bought the Blocker Tie Ring. We'd used them at previous boarding barns and had great success but I didn't have one at our new home. We do now! It really helps keep him from panicking and going into fight mode.

This is my second blocker ring (first one sprouted legs and walked away) and I still love it. I keep it in my grooming box and easily hook it and my horse just about anywhere with a ring. My horse has a tendency to want to "untie" himself when I use a quick release knot so this keeps him put and out of trouble. It can be put in a saddle bag and toted off down trail or use the included eye-bolt at the barn as a more permanent fixture to clip/ unclip the tie to. I 100% recommend this item.

Quality of product is very good. It really helps with horses that pull back when tied up. It releases the pressure to pull back so horse does not hurt itself or break halter etc. My horse can shy at things so I won't tie my horse up without it.

I had a previous tie ring that some how disappered, so I hope whomever has it uses it and enjoys it. I find it great from when a horse seems to think it necessary to pull back and lead rope slides through it quite easily. Great Product

Best purchase I’ve made for my horse. I have a horse with special needs...he’s 3 and has a neurological condition and had surgery for it this past summer, meaning he can’t have trauma to his neck. Since he’s young and delicate, it’s been hard to teach him any manners, how to tie, be patient, etc. I can’t tie him like a normal horse...even using some baking twine takes too much pressure to break to be safe for him. But it’s been nearly impossible to handle him even just to groom since I have no one to hold him for me. This has been a life saver. Before we knew the extent of his neck problems and I tried to teach him to tie, he would occasionally pull back and either panic or break his halter, which could kill him now. But with the blocker ring in his stall, I can now “tie” him without worry. If he starts to pull back or whatever, the lead slips out with little pressure, and I got a really long rope so he doesn’t get loose. And after using it a few weeks, he seems to be much more confident that he’s not trapped, but also knows he can just break free either...so he’s getting MUCH better at tying and not pulling back. I just purchased a second one and a second rope so we can graduate to cross tying in an aisle, and I am relieved that I won’t have to stress out about him hurting himself, while I can finally be able to work with him properly and without him being all over the place. Best investment so far for my little guy’s case.

He has learned that he can slowly pull slack and gradually walk away (I go to the tack room and return to find him 10ft ahead of the crosstie area but still attached... glad I got the long nylon leads to go through them!) but I will take that in place of his panic attacks which have injured me and broken things more than once. They really cured his tying anxiety and I am amazed.
