Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Bungee Tie is designed for horse owners seeking a safer, more controlled method for temporary cross-tying or grooming. By utilizing an elasticated core, it effectively absorbs the energy of a horse's sudden movements, reducing stress for both the animal and the handler. While it is an excellent tool for travel preparation and routine grooming, users must remember that it is strictly for short-term, supervised use and should never be used as a permanent restraint or left unattended.

FAQs
Can I leave my horse tied up with this overnight?
No. The KM Elite Bungee Tie is strictly for short-term, supervised use only.
What is the total length of the tie?
The tie measures 23 inches in length.
Is the panic snap difficult to open under pressure?
No, it is specifically designed to be released by hand even if the horse is pulling back against it.
How do I choose the right color?
The 12 color options are purely aesthetic; choose the color that best fits your preference or existing stable branding.
Does it matter which end I attach to the horse?
Yes, you should always attach the panic snap to the horse's headcollar for quick access in an emergency.
Is it machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash with mild soap and water and air dry to maintain the integrity of the elastic and metal hardware.
Troubleshooting
Panic snap mechanism feels stiff.
Clear any dirt or debris from the hinge and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant.
Elastic is losing its stretch.
This is a sign of wear. The product should be retired and replaced to ensure safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, attach the trigger clip to your chosen secure anchor point—such as a trailer tie ring or wall-mounted cross-tie eyelet. Clip the panic snap end to the horse's headcollar. Periodically inspect the bungee cord for signs of fraying or loss of elasticity. To clean, rinse with water and a mild detergent, then allow to air dry completely. Ensure the mechanical parts of the panic snap and trigger clip remain free of debris and lightly lubricated if they begin to show stiffness.
