My horse loves to stress me out. He pulled back 2 times now, and snapped my outside U ties. Anyone know where i can get some that fit on the spots. Bolts are there, just broke metal in 1/2. Of course it didn't break his halter just the metal tie.
Thanks in Advance!!! Pictures are below if you need to look at the outside ties!
Strong tie ring made of cast aluminum, it has a shiny appearance that eliminates any reaction from unlike metals. 1/2" material, 2.25" tall. 4" bolt centers. Model TRA4
I would stick with the cast aluminum, they will break rather than the horse snatching a hole in the side of your trailer. Buy some extras, sounds like it may happen again.

Get one of these they are made for young horses that pull back. When the horse pulls back it gives a little rope so the horse doesn't have that tight halter rope. I have these all over my house and no knots because it uses the rope to keep tight believe me you'll use it once and love it. http://www.nrsworld.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=10-320!TOK

You would THINK that my rock solid bombproof 17 year old WP horse would NOT be a pain. Both times is when there has been another horses tied next to him... so I am sure the other one gets all "ya know"... horseish on him!!!!

We sell about 7 brands of trailers, and the trailer tie that will stay put w/o breaking OR putting a hole in your trailer is the stainless steel U-bolt tie that Sundowner uses on their trailers. It goes thru the post of the trailer and is nutted on the inside. I had a mare that broke her lead rope with a heavy snap, and didn't do any damage to the tie or the trailer, while tied with this kind of tie. If you would like to try these ties, call Craig at 800 659-4051 and have him send you some.

Well no need to put a whole in trailer if you use my idea just replace the orginal u hooks on the outside(that way looks good and keeps it value) and attach the blocker tie ring to the u hook with a metal clip that the new ones come with. This way your not breaking ropes still and having to worry about your horse pulling back and hurting itself. These ones are meant to be moved and used where ever you wanna tie your horse on the trailer.
