If they tested by hanging a 1000 pound weight to it for 10 minutes and
it didn't break - yes. But I doubt none have undergone that test. If
they have I would like to hear from them.
The force goes back to your trailer and the mounting of the device the
the trailer. Can your trailer hold four bolts with that much force
applied. I also have to wonder what damage a horse that is a puller
could do to himself on one of these things.

I have a question for people who use Hi Ties: what happens if you have a
horse that is a puller? The kind that will lean back against a rope and
just hang there with all of his weight until the snap breaks. In which case
you use a heavy rope with a bull snap that he can't break, but he will just
almost sit down while pulling. Can a Hi Tie survive that?????

We bought the Hi Tie for our horse who liked to jump our electic fence.
It works beautifully. I hear NO noise from the apparatus. It is extremely
easy to use, and it appears indestructable. I would recommend it for
anyone, I just wish we could fit more of them on our trailer so all of our
horses could be tied.
They're athletes! This is a partnership between horse and rider - we don't
have any jockeys out there, just pals and partners. We'd allow a rider
with
a broken foot, a sore back and a nasty cold to compete - but we would
never
let a horse in a similiar condition hit the trail.
