I believe it would, as long as the rope does not have a knot at the end that could catch if the horse spooks. I use a thicker nylon lead, but a thinner one would probably work just as well.
Clinton Anderson is a name I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with. I've used a few different types of blocker ties in my life, and they all work the same way. This one was fantastic, and there hasn't been any rust in over a year.
Although they are designed and patented in the United States, no equine hardware is manufactured in the United States. The reason for this is freight and the two-step markup from wholesaler to dealer, then dealer to consumer. It's a fantastic product, but as dealers, we're restricted by the wholesaler as to the lowest price at which we can sell and continue to buy, so prices are relatively stable, except for a few times per year when sales are permitted. Even so, due to the complexity of its design and additional parts besides the ring that add to the unit cost, it is not a product with a high markup; however, they last forever and nothing compares to them in terms of function, so they remain a good value.
Yes, everything you see in the photo is included. I've tried it on a pulling horse and it worked great.
Selected User Reviews For Blocker Tie Ring II
After seeing my horse trainer use them, I decided to purchase these. They're a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it for the safety factor; when I got them, I thought, wow, nice, heavy, sturdy hardware, so that accounts for the price; I just paid over $60 for two. As seen in the photos, I attached them to my tie posts. Both the eye bolt and the actual tie blocker are beginning to rust after less than a week. I'm disappointed, and I'm thinking about returning, though I'll have to remove the eye bolts first. For $60, I expect these to last a long time and not rust in less than a week after installation.
The best investment I've ever made for my horse. I have a horse that requires special care. He's three years old and suffers from a neurological condition for which he had surgery this summer, which means he can't be subjected to neck trauma. It's been difficult to teach him manners, how to tie, be patient, and other things because he's young and delicate, and I can't tie him like a normal horse. Even using baking twine, which requires too much pressure to break, is too dangerous for him. But, because I don't have anyone to hold him for me, even grooming him has been nearly impossible. This has saved my life on numerous occasions. He would occasionally pull back and either panic or break his halter, which could now kill him, before we knew the extent of his neck problems and I tried to teach him to tie. But now that I have the blocker ring in his stall, I can safely "tie" him. If he starts to pull back or anything, the lead slips out with little effort, and I have a long rope to keep him from getting loose. And after a few weeks of using it, he appears to be much more confident that he is not trapped, but also that he can break free at any time. As a result, he's getting a lot better at tying knots and not pulling them back. I just bought a second one and a second rope so we can progress to cross-tying in an aisle, and I'm relieved that I won't have to worry about him injuring himself, and that I'll be able to work with him properly and without him running around all over the place. So far, my little guy's case has been the best investment.
This is the solution for a stubborn horse who refuses to tie up. In less than a week, I was able to teach my horse to stand and tie. Every day, a small amount of effort is put in. for approximately 30 minutes per day You'll be amazed at how simple it was to teach your horse to stand at the trailer after watching the Blocker videos. Mine was not a patient mare when it came to being tied. This product is also useful inside your trailer, wash rack, or wherever else you need it to be. Give it a shot; you'll enjoy it.
My 19- year . It does exactly what it says on the tin. My 19- Last summer, a year old horse spooked and pulled back after an accident while tied. I experimented with untying the lead or putting it in an easy-to-tie position. He was still scared, despite the fact that he was able to untangle the knots. He used to pull back when I spooked him with the tie ring, then stop when he realized he wasn't attached to the tie post; now he doesn't pull back, but I still use the tie ring. True, hardware could be used to create something similar. store items, but I found this to be well worth the money.
It works as long as they don't figure out what they're doing. Our mare will pull back to the point of sitting down every now and then until she relaxes. This has undoubtedly aided in this regard. She'll pull back until she reaches the end of the lead, which should give her enough time to reach her, but she figured out that if she kept pulling, she'd be free. br>I still use it because it keeps her safe; we're lucky that she'll stand until something frightens her (which isn't often). It works with any secured ring, including those on the side of a trailer. It would be ideal for teaching a younger horse if you have an occasional spooker who will pull back.
As a multiple world champion and silver medalist in the USDF, To assist some of the horses, simple tools are required. This tie ring can be found everywhere we need to tie a horse. I've been using them for a couple of years now. will proceed to do so. Our top priority is to keep you safe.
Did I mention she's huge and prone to breaking things? After two lead ropes and a trailer tie, I discovered this product and ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-h lee cow! I had her on a lunge line and had her pull back about 14' until she regained her composure and nothing was broken. She pranced in place a little the third time I saddled her, but she didn't back up. I'm not saying she's perfect, but she's not breaking anything now, and I'm hoping that after a few more sessions, she'll just toss her head in frustration.
This is a fantastic purchase that is well worth its weight in gold! I have a horse who has learned to break ropes and halters, and I have never been able to tie him. This product was recommended to me by a barrel racing friend, but my horse only tried it once or twice before realizing he wasn't going anywhere. If you don't use a longer trainer rope at first, it won't work; there are detailed instructions and different levels of tying.
