We are now making our heavy duty rubber ties available for sale. The Red Oak Rubber Tie was developed out of a frustration with the rubber ties we purchased from supply catalogs. The ties we bought never seemed to hold up with our horses. As a result we decided to build our own. Our heavy duty rubber ties are made from 1 inch rubber cord with heavy duty swivel bolt snaps and have withstood testing with our horses for a couple years now.

Rubber Ties are an excellent way of teaching foals or older horses to tie. The advantage of the rubber is that they give and stretch when the foal or horse pulls back while still maintaining tension which is released when the horse yields to the pressure. Using rubber ties results in a much smaller chance of the horse panicking and harming either themselves and/or their handler than when tied with a solid rope or tie.

Rubber ties are also recommended by experts to use for trailering of horses. In the event that something spooks or frightens the horse, the flexible ties will stretch when the horse jerks back. The proper length of the tie when trailering horses is so that the horse has just enough slack in the tie to enable it to reach the bottom of the feeder. An additional advantage of the rubber is that in the case of a trailer emergency, the tie can be quickly cut with a pocket knife to release the horse.

Red Oak rubber ties are made to order in 18, 24, 36 or 48 inch lengths with other custom lengths available and are guaranteed against defects in quality and workmanship.
