Uses: Tie/Lead-Training To Everyday Routine Tie/Lead Practices & Other Line And Cinching Applications.  Be Prepared For Anything!

The easy-to-use Tie Disk System provides pressure relief of your rope line during upsets, pull-backs by means of  the user’s pre-selected range of hold versus slip adjustments.  Now you have more control of the "weakest link" of your line. 

Disk system allows supple control of the line and the animal, decreasing and even eliminating harmful sudden jolts/torques on the line and the horse's head and neck.  Animals tend to panic even more when their line comes to a sudden stop.  Now you have the chance to greatly reduce the risk of harm from these reactions.  Even a well-trained equine is not exempt. 

Demonstration Of The 7-Port Disk As A Lead-Line To  Halter Connection.  Note That This Has A Very Strong Hold, Due To The Fact That Running The Line Over The Halter Ring/Loop Is A Sharp Turn Which Creates Much Hold Friction.  A Lock-Hitch Can Be Applied If Desired.

Accommodates and adapts to most tack and equipment.
Highly practical and convenient: Use the Tie Disk System wherever you go:
At the stable/ranch, on the trail, at the show or competition, trailer-hauling, etc.

Notice: The Brass Ring In Photo Represents Your Halter Ring Or Loop

Figure-A Features Two Seven Port Tie Disks, One Of Which Shows How Your Line Runs Through The Ports To Provide The Most Hold.  A Simple Lock-Hitch Can Be Added At Any Point Of This Stitch Pattern, If Desired. A Quality 1/2" Rope Works Best With This Tool.

Figure-B Features The Nineteen Port Tie Disk And Shows How Its Own Rope Is Coiled Around A Pole And Lock-Hitched To The Disk.  There Are Thirteen Vacant Ports To Run Your Lead Line Through To Create Your Desired Hold.  The 19-Port Disk Is Like Having A Safer, Portable Hitching Post.

These two types of Tie Disks do not need to be used in conjunction with one another to be effective.

This photo demonstrates the standard way of using the Tie Disk System in normal hitching protocols using a 12' line.  The Tie Disk at the halter provides incredible hold.  The Tie Disk at the cross pole shows the line running through several ports, which provides ample hold, yet good slip.  This is good for a horse that is well-seasoned and tie-trained as Bucky is in this photo. 

 

 

Tie Disk Synthetic Material
These specialized Tie Disks are made from an incredibly strong 3/8” thick PVC-based nylon-mesh-reinforced belting material. The Tie Disks exhibit just the right amount of stiffness and slight bendability (give), yet exhibit a minute amount of stretch-ability under stronger torques. In many ways and instances the Tie Disk is stronger than your line.
A 1/2” strip of this material can easily support a ton!

Seven Port Tie Disk Demonstrating Use As A Neck Loop Connector
Notice The Stop-Knot Which Prevents The Neck Loop From Enlarging.
Likewise, A Stop-Knot Can Be Placed On The Opposite Side Of The Disk
To Prevent The Neck Loop From Over-Choking.
