Waldhausen Trailer Tie with Panic Hook - Robust 55cm Tie-Up System
The Waldhausen Trailer Tie is a 55cm tie-up system with a panic hook at one end and a snap hook at the other, made for tying horses safely in a trailer, horsebox, stable or wash bay. It is best for owners who travel regularly and want a hard-wearing tie with a quick-release fitting that can be undone in a hurry.

FAQ
How long is the Waldhausen Trailer Tie?
It measures 55cm, a practical length for tying a horse short and secure in a trailer, horsebox or stable.
What is the panic hook for?
The panic hook allows the tie to be released quickly if a horse pulls back or becomes unsettled, without having to unclip a standard spring hook under tension.
Will the fittings mark my trailer?
The strong claw fitting is rubber coated, which helps reduce scratching and knocks against trailer panels, horsebox interiors and stable fittings.
Can I use it with a pony or a larger warmblood?
Yes. The tie is universally useable and the 55cm length suits ponies, cobs, horses and warmbloods, provided it is attached to a correctly fitted headcollar and a suitable tie point.
Should I tie directly to a metal ring?
Many owners prefer to tie to a loop of breakable twine attached to the ring, so the twine gives way before the horse or fittings are put under strain.
How do I care for it?
Wipe clean after use, allow to dry naturally away from direct heat and check the hooks, claw fitting and stitching regularly. Replace the tie if any part is worn, corroded or damaged.
