Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Tie Rings

It's a great little gizmo ... it's actually half of a snaffle bit with an
attachment on the end that you can fit through a tie ring on a tie rack,
cross tie, trailer and run a screw threw it. Picture the circle of the
snaffle with half of the bit part swung up as a cross on the circle. You run
a loop your rope through the circle and put the cross inside the loop. The
circle stops the cross because the cross is longer than the loop. Depending
on what kind of rope you use, it will pull through the cross piece easier or
harder. You can take it with you anywhere just by unscrewing it from
whatever you have it hanging from. Wouldn't be without it for that
particular horse mentioned earlier.
