Description
The Horseware Quiet Drop Safety Cross Ties are safety lines for tying your horse on both sides, whether you are grooming, tacking up or working through any other care routine. The Quiet Drop system is a safety connection that releases once enough pressure builds up on the lines, and it does so without metal parts snapping back. On top of that, Breakaway Loops give the fastening system a deliberate weak point. Your horse stays centred while you keep access from either side.
About these safety lines
The Quiet Drop system lets the safety connection release once the load becomes great enough. It is designed to open without metal parts rebounding hard and suddenly. That matters most with horses that startle at unexpected movements or sounds around the grooming or wash area.
The lines are adjustable, so you can match their length to the space you have and to the position you want to tie the horse in. Fixing the horse on the left and the right keeps it in the middle while you work from either side. That is what makes cross ties practical for daily care, grooming and getting ready for training or a show.
Horseware has fitted the set with Breakaway Loops. These form a deliberate breaking point in the fastening system: if too much pressure builds up, this part gives way rather than holding the connection fast. A feature like this remains an addition to tying up properly and keeping an eye on things; it cannot rule out accidents altogether.
The set is meant for use around the yard and is not tied to any discipline. Competition riders, leisure riders and professional grooms all use the lines in a suitable grooming or care area.
Check the cross ties and the safety components regularly for wear and damage. Any part that is damaged, or that has already done its safety job, should be replaced before you use the system again.

Expert advice
Use cross ties only in a suitable location with sufficient space around the horse. Adjust both lines so that the horse can stand comfortably and centrally without the lines being constantly taut.
Before use, check the fastenings, lines, and Breakaway Loops. After a safety component has been activated, you must check which parts need to be replaced before using the system again.
Cross ties are particularly practical for horses that are accustomed to being tied on two sides. For a horse that is not yet familiar with this system or reacts restlessly to being tied in two places, another method of guiding or tying may be more suitable.
Use & care
Attach both cross ties to suitable, sturdy anchor points and adjust their length evenly. Then connect both sides to the halter using the provided attachment points. Before each use, check the lines and safety components for damage. Inspect and replace activated or damaged Breakaway Loops before reusing the cross ties.
Frequently asked questions
What do you use Horseware Quiet Drop Safety Cross Ties for?
You use these ties to secure a horse on two sides, for example, while grooming and caring for it, while maintaining access to the horse from both sides.
What does the Quiet Drop system do?
The Quiet Drop system is designed to release the safety connection in a controlled manner when sufficient load is applied, thereby limiting a hard rebound of components.
Are the Horseware Quiet Drop Safety Cross Ties adjustable?
Yes. The cross ties are adjustable so you can adapt the length to the available space and the horse.
Do these cross ties have a breakable safety point?
