Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Bungee Tie is designed for horse owners and handlers who need a reliable, safe way to restrain horses during grooming, travel prep, or routine stall care. Its primary benefit is the combination of flexible shock absorption and a manual quick-release mechanism that prevents injury if a horse panics. While it provides excellent flexibility, it is intended for temporary use only and should never be used as a permanent tether or left unattended.

FAQs
Can I leave my horse tied with this while I walk away?
No. The KM Elite Bungee Tie is designed for temporary, supervised use only. Never leave a horse tied unattended.
Is the 23-inch length adjustable?
The length is fixed at 23 inches to provide a safe, consistent range of motion for the horse.
Does this replace a proper cross-tie system?
It serves as a component for safe tying but should be used within a properly managed grooming or travel setup.
How do I release the panic snap under tension?
Simply pull the release lever firmly. The hardware is engineered to slide open even when the horse is applying backward pressure.
Can this be used for trailering?
It is suitable for trailer prep and grooming, but ensure your specific trailer tie configuration is compatible with the 23-inch reach.
Troubleshooting
Panic snap is difficult to open
Check the mechanism for debris or dried mud. Clean with water and apply a light silicone-based lubricant to the hinge.
Bungee has lost its elasticity
This is a sign of material fatigue from age or heavy stress. The tie should be retired and replaced to ensure continued safety.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Shock-absorbing design reduces stress for the horse
- Panic snap allows for safe, manual release under tension
- Portable and lightweight design for easy transport
- High-visibility green cord makes it easy to track
Cons
- Not suitable for leaving a horse tied unattended
- Elastic material may lose tension over years of heavy use
- Not intended for long-term stall tethering
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tie, attach the trigger clip to your trailer ring or stall cross-tie eyelet. Secure the panic snap end to the horse's halter. Always ensure the snap is oriented in a way that allows you to reach it easily if you need to perform an emergency release.
Compatibility: Fits standard halter rings and most trailer tie points.
Care Instructions:
- Inspect the bungee cord regularly for fraying or thinning.
- Keep hardware clean and free of grit; apply a light lubricant to the snap and clip springs if they become stiff.
- Store in a dry, shaded area when not in use to prevent UV damage to the elastic core.
