WHEN “FLEXIBLE” BECOMES DANGEROUS
[smarter choices]

Before using EasyConnects, rubber bungee tie-ups seemed like a good idea to Sara Granqvist. Switching to EasyConnects changed everything. Now, the release is controlled and predictable at 90 kg of force.

The SafeConnect Carabiner - Details Matter

• Replaces heavy metal attachments with a lighter, horse-safe connection
• Has no sharp edges.
• Reduces anxiety through its reduced sound pollution
• It's faster and easier to use for the equestrian, meaning less fiddling around

THE HARDEST MATERIAL 

Why metal chain tie-ups create danger long before anything goes wrong
A modern tie-up should be soft, quiet, lightweight and able to release instantly in a panic, not increase the panic.

It’s time to retire chains for good.

A DIFFERENT HORSE ALTOGETHER

Sara Granqvist knows what it’s like to work with sensitive young horses. Her six-year-old used to be impossible to tie in cross ties. Today, that same horse stands calmly in the cross ties every day, trust was rebuilt where fear used to live.

Panic Hooks: Problems vs Solutions

Panic hooks are inconsistent by design. Some jam the moment a horse pulls back. Others release at the slightest movement. The result is unpredictability, and unpredictability around horses is never safe.

PROFESSIONALISM SHOWS IN THE DETAILS

[stable standards] 

For Sara Granqvist, every part of the stable reflects the standards she works to. The horses, the staff, the clients, all deserve an environment that feels calm, organised and professional.

WHY REAL QUALITY MATERIALS MATTER

When it comes to horse safety, the materials under the hood matter more than most people realize. That’s why every EasyConnect tie-up is built using genuine VELCRO® and high-quality 100 % polyester twill.

THE “SAFETY KNOT” THAT ISN’T

People still trust it because “that’s how it’s always been done.”

But tradition doesn’t make something safe.
A tie-up system should release automatically, quietly, cleanly and protect both the horse and the handler every time.

THE SIMPLEST SAFETY UPGRADE 

When you replace outdated chains, clips, bungees and improvised “safety fixes” with a system engineered for real behaviour and real emergencies, everything becomes calmer, safer and more predictable, for you, your horse and everyone around you.

WHEN PRESSURE TURNS TO PANIC

[professional standards]

Traditional tie-ups get tighter when a horse pulls back or rears. The pressure builds fast. Fear takes over. A moment later, a calm horse can be in full panic, pulling harder, slipping, or even falling.

OUT WITH CHAINS, IN WITH MODERN SAFETY

Metal chain tie-ups have been part of equestrian routines for generations, but tradition does not equal safety. Chains were never designed with horse welfare, panic behaviour or handler safety in mind.

EVERYDAY WELFARE. EVERYDAY WORK.
[horse-first handling]

Horses learn from patterns. Not just from the one hour we ride, but from all the hours around it. For Mica and Cash, that means choosing tools that support calm behaviour, safe handling and long-term soundness.

MOVING WITH THE SANDS OF TIME

Key faults with chain tie-ups:
• Heavy metal increases anxiety and causes muscular strain over time.
• overly strong with no automatic release when a horse pulls back.
• Creates a harsh, outdated appearance that lowers facility standards.

RELEASES ONLY WHEN IT SHOULD

Some people are concerned that the EasyConnect will release at the slightest pull, but that’s not how it works. Each one is precisely made to hold firm during everyday handling, even when a horse tests the limits or shifts its weight.

THE MODERN ANSWER TO EVERY OLD TIE UP PROBLEM

Every traditional tie up has the same underlying flaw. They were designed decades ago for control, not for welfare and not for emergency situations. Strength was prioritised over safety. Metal over softness. Force over understanding.

THE REAL COST OF “GOOD ENOUGH” TIE-UPS

Modern equestrianism requires modern equipment. The EasyConnect, EasyConnect Tieflex and EasyConnect Travel make tie-ups safer, quieter and more professional, not by chance, but by design.
