- Built to Last. Designed to Work.
A well-organized barn or grooming area can make daily horse care more efficient and enjoyable, and cross ties are one of the simplest yet most effective tools to achieve that. At RCI Corrals, we provide durable and reliable cross ties designed to keep horses secure while giving handlers the space they need to work safely and efficiently. Using cross ties correctly can improve safety, streamline tasks, and make training more effective.
Cross ties create a controlled environment where horses can be safely secured from both sides. This setup prevents them from wandering, making it easier to perform tasks like grooming, saddling, veterinary checks, or farrier work. The design of cross ties keeps the horse centered and balanced, reducing the risk of sudden movements that could cause injury to the horse or handler.
One of the main benefits of cross ties is the added safety they provide. By securing a horse’s head between two anchored points, cross ties limit sideways movement while still allowing the horse to stand comfortably. This setup reduces the chances of a horse stepping into dangerous areas or becoming entangled in loose equipment.
When you use cross ties, your grooming and tacking process becomes more efficient. Horses remain still and straight, giving you full access to both sides without having to reposition them. Well-placed cross ties in your barn or grooming aisle can help speed up daily routines and make them less stressful for both horse and handler.
Incorporating cross ties into your training program can teach horses patience and improve their ground manners. Young horses, in particular, benefit from being introduced to cross ties early, as it helps them learn to stand quietly and comfortably while being handled.
The best cross ties are strong, adjustable, and equipped with quick-release mechanisms for safety. At RCI Corrals, we focus on providing cross ties that are built for long-term use and can be customized to fit different barn layouts. Proper installation ensures that your cross ties are both safe and functional.
Where you install cross ties matters. They should be positioned in an area with good footing, enough space for you to move around the horse, and free from sharp objects or clutter. Strategic placement of cross ties will improve workflow and safety in your barn.
At RCI Corrals, we know that cross ties are more than just a convenience — they are an important part of a safe and efficient horse care setup. Whether you are outfitting a new barn or upgrading your current space, our cross ties are designed to deliver durability, reliability, and peace of mind.
