I had a horse panick and fly backwards, like most do when they panic...The bungey cord broke and there was no sling shot effect...But instead of buying another one, I may just use baling twine to tie to.

Dangerous Slingshot Effect. I tried to reach a panicking pony quickly. One end released and hit my thumb--I lost feeling down that nerve for 6 months. Never trusted these again! They are solidly built, but the slingshot effect is dangerous for horse & rider.

My horse is like Houdini - she can get off the tie line while horse camping easily. Finally I got one of these and it works great! It's a perfect length, and she now accepts that she can't just go off and graze whenever she wants to.

these are fine until a horse gets in trouble and pulls... if you release at the halter, it sling-shots the snap at the rider. if you release at the wall, it sling-shots at the horse. mine are in the landfill.

These are fine until you get a horse in trouble. When a horse pulls and panics, there is no way to release without endangering either the human or horse: if released from the wall, the tie and snap 'sling shot' at the horse and everything in between. Obviously, it isn't safe to get close enough to release from the halter.
