Cut Heal Animal Care Products Inc. offers a solution to horse safety problems with a unique release mechanism that can be adjusted to release a horse after 60 to 80 pounds of pressure is applied. This horse safety release mechanism is available on two Cut-Heal products, the Safety Release Trailer Tie and the Safety Release Cross Tie. The panicked horse calms when he finds himself no longer trapped, thus averting a potential disaster.

Cost: $26.95 (trailer tie); $49.95 (crosstie).
