Have you all heard of these?
They are very handy for tying horses up wherever you are, at a horsebox, outside the stable or round pen etc.
If you have read Joe Camp's "Soul of a Horse", you will have read about them there. I heard of them through Ross Jacob's website, this is the link directly to his thoughts on them and his directions how to fashion them from an old snaffle bit (or two, ;D)

They are just so handy, I think everyone should use them, when a horse pulls back hard it lets a little rope slide through and this takes the panic reflex out and stops horses from hitting the panic button and breaking gear or hurting themselves badly. I really recommend that you read Ross' thoughts on them and his separate tips about working with horses that have become confirmed at pulling back when tied up, he has a good plan for retraining this learned behavior.
Ladies (and gentlemen) get your power tools out and have fun ;D

There are different ways to put the rope through it to get different tensions when the line is pulled too.
but you've given me the push to get it out!
