FAQs

What is the adjustable length range?
The tie can be adjusted from 62cm to 75cm.
What material is the tie made of?
The tie is made from polyester webbing.
How do I attach the tie?
Loop the tie onto a secure tie ring.
How do I maintain the tie?
Regularly check for wear and tear, and clean with a damp cloth.
Can I use this tie with any horse?
Yes, it is designed for use with most horses, but always monitor your horse and adjust the tie length as needed.
Troubleshooting
The breakaway feature doesn't release.
Check the velcro for proper closure and ensure it's free of dirt or debris. If the issue persists, inspect the breakaway clip for any obstructions.
The tie is too long or too short.
Adjust the middle section of the tie to the desired length. Ensure the horse has enough room to be comfortable without being able to get a leg over the tie.
