Blocker Tie Ring II

The Blocker Tie Ring II is a valuable tool in training young horses to tie up (or retraining a horse with a pull-back problem). When tied solid, horses often respond objectively by pulling back hard on their lead rope. When the rope doesn't give, they sometimes panic and pull harder. Some pull so hard that they break tack, which can cause serious injury to the horse and also damage to the stable. With the Blocker Tie Ring, some of the spare tie-up rope is allowed to move through the tie ring when the horse pulls, eliminating the force that can break tack and reassuring your horse that he is not "trapped".

Blocker Tie Ring II also lets your horse figure out for himself that the uncomfortable pressure on his neck, poll and withers (caused by pulling) is gone once he stops the pulling. So it uses positive reinforcement to encourage the correct behavior. Blocker Tie features a Mag-Lock that keeps the tongue of the tie ring in place. You can adjust the tie ring for how much hold you need: basic, medium, or maximum. Small, light and compact, the tie ring can be used anywhere it's safe to tie up a horse. Comes complete with quick snap, shackle, eyebolt and instruction booklet.

We recommend you use the Blocker Tie Ring II in a controlled environment, such as an arena or round pen. In addition to the Blocker Tie Ring, you will also need a long lead rope 10-12 ft long. The suggested length of lead rope between your horse and the Blocker Tie Ring II is approximately 3 ft. You may need more or less depending on your horse. We recommend the Blocker Lead with Popper.

Post or Beam Installation

1. Drill a small hole at a height of five feet or higher where you want to install the Eye Bolt.
2. Screw in the Eye Bolt until it is secure and the ring of the Eye Bolt rests in a horizontal position.
3. Unscrew the Thumb Bolt from the Shackle and hook the Shackle to both the small ring of the Blocker Tie Ring and the Eye Bolt. Be sure that the tongue of the Tie Ring hangs so it curves back towards the post. Hand screw the Thumb Bolt back into the Shackle so it is secured. You are now ready to use your Blocker Tie Ring!

Cross Tie Installation
For Cross Ties, the Blocker Tie Ring can be installed one of two ways:

1. Install a pair of Blocker Tie Rings with the included hardware.
2. If you already have cross tie rings in your barn or stable, simply attach a pair of Blocker Tie Rings to the existing cross tie rings with the included Shackles.

Picket & High Line Installation
To install the Blocker Tie Ring on a picket or high line, simply double up the picket line rope where you would like to hang the Blocker Tie Ring and put the loop through the large ring of the Blocker Tie Ring. Pull the loop of the picket rope through the large ring and over the top of the small ring and pull the ends taut. Now the Tie Ring is secure. After you have installed the Blocker Tie Ring on the picket or high line, anchor your line as usual.

Trailer Installation The Blocker Tie Ring is easy to install inside and outside trailers too! Simply use the included Shackle to attach the Blocker Tie Ring to the existing tie ring on your trailer.
