THE PROBLEM WITH PANIC HOOKS
[professional standards]

A panic hook relies on human reaction. It has to be released manually, and when a horse panics, there’s rarely time for that. The instant pressure of a pullback locks the mechanism, making it nearly impossible to open.

SPOT THE RISK
[tie-up safety]

Tell us in the comments. Have you experienced a bungee snapping back, escalating a panic or causing an injury? Do you still use them, or have you already moved away from elastic tie-up systems?
Real experiences drive safer handling.

WHY BALING TWINE IS NOT THE SAFETY SOLUTION YOU THINK IT IS

It was never designed for tying horses. It has no calibrated release. 
Modern handling needs modern tools. Not temporary fixes. Not guesswork. Not equipment designed for hay bales instead of horses.

LEAVE CHAINS BEHIND. STEP INTO MODERN HORSE HANDLING

Chains and panic hooks belong to another era of equestrianism. They were designed for restraint, not welfare. Yet they are still used daily around horses, prey animals that can panic in a heartbeat.

WHEN “SAFETY KNOTS” AREN’T REALLY SAFE
[horse-first innovation]

For generations, lead ropes with pistol clips and safety knots have been part of stable life. They’re simple. Familiar. Supposedly safe. But what happens when “good enough” isn’t actually good enough?

[trailer tie-ups] [tie-up safety]

Tell us in the comments. Have you experienced a failure, panic or injury because of a trailer tie-up? Or have you already made the switch to safer alternatives?

Your experiences help move horse handling forward.

THE STRETCH THAT SNAPS BACK

A modern tie-up must be quiet, lightweight, predictable and able to release instantly without recoiling.
Rubber bungees belong to the past, not the future.

WHEN EVERY GRAM COUNTS, YOUR TIE-UP COULD BE A LIFE-SAVER.

Why Low Weight Matters - Light tie-ups reduce weight on the neck and injury risk - heavy ones cause trauma.

THE DANGERS WITH RUBBER BUNGEE TIE-UPS 

Rubber bungee tie-ups are still found in stables everywhere, often because they look soft, forgiving, and “horse friendly.” But in reality, they’re one of the most unpredictable, high-risk tie-up systems we see.

WHEN “STRONG” BECOMES DANGEROUS
[traditional isn’t always the best]

Metal chains have long been seen as the “strong”. They last. They feel secure. They are cheap. But in reality, that strength can turn into one of the most dangerous elements in a stable.

SPOT THE RISKS
[tie-up safety] [horse welfare]

At first glance, this tie-up spot might look perfectly normal. Many yards have something similar, and it’s often only when something goes wrong that the hidden risks become obvious.

WHY KEEP BUYING WHAT FAILS YOUR HORSE?

[horse first thinking] 

So why keep buying what has already proven it cannot meet your horse’s needs? There are modern alternatives designed around welfare, safety and real handling behaviour. Your horse is asking for better....

THE PRICE OF “GOOD ENOUGH” TIE-UPS

Most yards, tie-up equipment is still chosen for human convenience rather than equine safety. Chains, rubber bungees, baling twine, trailer ties and knotted lead ropes all share a critical flaw. None are designed around equine behaviour.

WHEN “FLEXIBLE” BECOMES DANGEROUS
[smarter choices]

Before using EasyConnects, rubber bungee tie-ups seemed like a good idea to Sara Granqvist. Switching to EasyConnects changed everything. Now, the release is controlled and predictable at 90 kg of force.

THE HARDEST MATERIAL 

Why metal chain tie-ups create danger long before anything goes wrong
A modern tie-up should be soft, quiet, lightweight and able to release instantly in a panic, not increase the panic.

It’s time to retire chains for good.
