Description
The Horseware Breakaway Loop is a safety clip for tying up a horse. The clip is designed to break under sufficient pressure when a horse suddenly pulls back or gets stuck. This creates a predetermined breaking point in the tie, which can help reduce the risk of injury in such situations.
About this safety clip
You can use the Horseware Breakaway Loop when you are tying up a horse, during transport, or with cross ties. Horseware explicitly states that the clip is intended to provide additional safety in situations where a horse might panic and pull back or unexpectedly put pressure on the attachment.
The clip is designed to break at approximately 47 kg of pressure. This makes the product different from a regular fixed ring or permanent attachment: the Breakaway Loop is specifically intended to function as a weaker, controlled breaking point in the system. As soon as the pressure reaches the specified value, the clip can break so that the horse does not continue to pull indefinitely against the tie.
The Horseware Breakaway Loop is made of plastic and comes as a set of two pieces. Its compact design makes it suitable as an accessory for daily use in the stable, during grooming, for transport, or in other places where a horse needs to be safely tied up.
It is important that this product does not replace correct and safe tying. The clip functions as an additional safety component within your tying system. Therefore, regularly check it for wear or damage and replace any broken or visibly damaged clips.
For maintenance, Horseware recommends hand washing only. Store the clips in a cool, dry place and avoid moisture, extreme heat, and prolonged exposure to UV radiation.

Expert advice
Use the Breakaway Loop in places where you deliberately want a breaking point in your horse's tether. This can be, for example, during grooming, during transport or on cross ties.
Before each use, check that the plastic clip shows no cracks, deformation or other damage. A broken clip must be replaced and is not intended for reuse.
The stated breaking strength of 47 kg does not mean that the clip will break at exactly the same moment in every situation; the actual load also depends on how the force is applied. Therefore, use the clip as a safety component, not as a guarantee against injury.
Use & care
Place the Horseware Breakaway Loop as a fragile connection point in the system you use to tie up your horse. Check that the clip is undamaged before use. Under strong strain, it is designed to break at around 47 kg of pressure. Replace a broken or damaged clip and do not reuse it.
