Product Information
Full details
The Mackey Fillet String in Gold is designed for equestrians and stable managers who require a reliable and clean solution for securing stall curtains or stall guards. Its primary benefit is the specialized plastic covering that prevents debris and dirt from compromising the integrity of the string, ensuring long-term durability in dusty environments. While it offers excellent functionality, users should note that the gold finish is primarily aesthetic and requires gentle handling to maintain its polished appearance over time.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this be used outdoors?
While the plastic covering provides some moisture resistance, it is intended primarily for indoor stable environments and should not be left exposed to extreme weather for extended periods.
Is the gold color paint or metal?
The gold color is a specialized finish applied to the construction; avoid using abrasive brushes to maintain the integrity of the color.
How long is the fillet string?
Please consult the specific model specifications for your purchase, as lengths can vary by individual SKU requirements.
Can I use this for leading a horse?
No, this product is strictly designed for stall curtains and stable organization and is not rated for horse leading or tying.
Will the plastic casing crack in cold weather?
It is designed for standard barn temperatures; however, avoid bending the string at sharp angles in freezing conditions to prevent potential fatigue in the plastic.
Troubleshooting
Clip spring feels stiff or sticky
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the hinge point of the clip and work it back and forth.
Surface of plastic is dulling
Use a specialized plastic polish or a mild soap solution to restore the clarity of the outer casing.
Clip will not stay locked
Inspect the gate of the clip for debris or physical damage; ensure the gate is fully closing against the hook notch.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Resists dirt and debris buildup thanks to the smooth plastic exterior
- Easy to install and remove with dual-clip functionality
- Sturdy construction suitable for heavy-duty barn use
- Visually distinct gold color for easy identification
Cons
- Plastic covering may scratch if handled roughly with metal tools
- Limited to specific stall guard or curtain applications
- The metallic finish can show signs of wear if left exposed to harsh weather
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: simply attach one clip to the existing eyelet or D-ring on the stall pillar and snap the second clip onto your curtain or guard hardware. Ensure both clips are fully closed to prevent accidental detachment. Regarding compatibility, this string is compatible with most standard equestrian stall hardware kits. To care for the product, wipe the plastic casing down with a damp cloth if it becomes dusty; avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the gold finish or cloud the protective plastic coating. Store in a dry area when not in active use to maximize longevity.
