Whats the difference between a broke tie down and a normal tie down? which do you use and prefer? i don't know how t attach pics but i attached a link for those who would like to see, #213 and #203 are examples of both for those who don't know.

I can't imagine that the feel of either would be that much different to the horse. Perhaps the broken one just has more freedom for head movement?? My concern with the broken one is it looks like it would be bulky and flop around too much. I'm not a huge fan of tie downs, I've only ever had one horse that ran in one and that's only because she was an ex-roping horse and balanced on it in her turns. With her, a tie down is just a necessary evil. Regardless, #203 would not go anywhere NEAR one of my horses under ANY circumstance.

Yes, I wasn't pointing out those two examples to buy just to show people what exactly I was talking about.. Someone said the broken distributes pressure better, wasn't sure though so thought I'd ask here. Couldn't find any threads or reads about it on google.

I think everyone is misunderstanding my post lol! I'm not looking to buy either one of the tie downs I used as a example.. Just wanted to know the difference between one that is broken VS one that is not, regardless the material. Sorry for the confusion, I hope I worded things better
