When my granddaughter and I went to the racehorse barn, she noticed that the trainer secured the horses differently from us at home. We typically use a single lead rope, while he uses cross ties.

However, a responsible owner should put in the time and effort to ensure the horse is okay with whatever intervention is bothering it beforehand. I don’t expect my farrier to have to deal with an unruly horse. Nevertheless, in my opinion, it’s not okay to hide the issue with cross-ties.

If you’re a horse owner, then you know the importance of keeping your horse calm and relaxed. One way to do this is by using cross ties. They’re a safe and convenient way to handle your horse, making grooming and saddling much easier.One of my most hard and fast rules is that nothing is done with horses in their stables unless they are on totally strict box rest. Their boxes are their space, they get to relax, eat, sleep and know they will never be bothered by people while in there. It’s ‘sacred space’ on my yard. Using cross ties is a great way to tether your horse while working with them. It provides you space and keeps the animal centered, so they don’t get tangled or – hurt you. Cross ties should be at least the height of your horses’ whithers and meet in the middle. Historically, steel ties have suffered from poor design and increased traffic loads over their normally long service life. These aged and often obsolete designs limited load and speed capacity but can still be found in many locations globally and performing adequately despite decades of service. There are great numbers of steel ties with over 50 years of service and in some cases they can and have been rehabilitated and continue to perform well. Steel ties were also used in specialty situations, such as the Hejaz Railway in the Arabian Peninsula where the dry, hot climate made wood ties unsatisfactory. [9] Grant, H. Roger (2005).

I also had one horse who would fight when tied with one rope to the wall. He was claustrophobic and would paddle and rear, getting his foot over the rope. I had a ring each side of the doorway and he could then tie with his head outside. No claustrophobia, fairly loose ropes, no drama. If he pawed, it was a short thing, no punching the walls or climbing the ropes.If you’re designing a new horse barn, I strongly suggest including an area to set up cross ties. Working with horses can be a lot of fun, but it’s essential to ensure you do everything safely. One necessary safety precaution is setting up cross ties for your horses.
