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.

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.

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

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.

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.
