After years of watching and hearing of horses injuring themselves, from being tied solid as well as people getting hurt trying to get them loose. Blocker decided that there must be a better safer more humane way to tie a horse. So after years of thought, trial and error, they developed the Blocker Tie Ring to be used In Cross Ties, Single Tie, Groom & Tack areas, wash racks, picket lines, outside and inside of horse trailers or anywhere you tie your horse. The degree or amount of hold can be regulated by one of several tying options from as little as a few pounds or as much as a few hundred pounds, depending on the horse and the Situation. When the horse pulls hard enough, he can pull some slack in the lead rope releasing pressure and the source of pain and panic. Reducing the threat dramatically as well as allowing the horse to pull himself enough slack to get up should he fall down in a trailer.
The world’s safest way to tie a horse just got even better. The Blocker Tie Ring 2 with Mag-Loc features: A magnet and bottom stays to keep the tongue of the tie ring in place. Allows for an even greater range of uses, including upside down on hitch rails! A smaller, lighter and more compact size – perfect where space is tight, like in the trailer. A special quick snap with a tapered back that allows you to easily clip the tie ring to existing tie hooks and move it quickly as needed from place to place. Comes complete with quick snap, eye bolt and complete instructions on use.The Blocker Tie Ring has changed the way people tie their horses, providing a safe, humane way to tie your horse. Designed to be a support system rather than a restraint system, the Tie Ring allows a horse to pull slack in the lead rope when he panics or falls. This releases pressure and the source of pain or panic, dramatically reducing the threat of injury to you and your horse. Now the next generation of tie ring, the Blocker Tie Ring II with Mag-Loc, improves upon the original. The Mag-Loc feature holds the tongue in place, making the tie ring more stable so it can be mounted at any height. In addition to cross ties, single ties, grooming and tack areas, trailers, high lines and picket lines, you can now mount the Tie Ring II on hitch rails. The stays on either side of the tongue prevent the tongue from sliding around the ring so your horse can safely pull slack from any angle. The new specially designed Quick Snap makes the Tie Ring II even easier to move from location to location. You can take your horse away from home knowing he can be safely tied just about anywhere. The Blocker Tie Ring II--simply the safest way to tie your horse.
Blocker Tie Ring II Tying Options:
The Blocker Tie Ring 2 allows you to regulate the amount of hold by using one or more of the three different tying options. In addition, you can increase the hold by as little as a few pounds or as much as several hundred pounds, simply by changing the type of lead rope that you use.
Level 1
Basic Hold
This basic tying option offers the least amount of hold for your horse
Step 1-1 After installing the Blocker Tie Ring, double-up the lead rope approximately three feet from the snap end and make a loop. Insert the loop through the large ring of the Blocker Tie Ring. Next, push the tongue of the Tie Ring up through the loop in the rope.
Step 1-2 Pull both ends of the lead rope straight down to lock in place.
Level 2
Medium Hold
Offers more support and hold for your horse.
Step 2-3 Grasp the end of the lead rope that is attached to your horse and pull down to lock in place.
Level 3
Maximum Hold
Offers the most hold and support for your horse.
If you can’t pull the lead rope through the Tie Ring, you probably are using more hold than necessary.
Step 3-1 Starting with your lead rope tied at Level Two, grasp the tail end of the lead rope that is attached to your horse. This creates the most hold possible while still allowing a release.
