ABSTRACT:
A retractable safety horse tying apparatus having a housing which is shaped to receive a spring-loaded reel that rotates about a center spindle. A tether rope or other material is wound around the reel and anchored there and the opposite end threaded through a hole on the housing and attached to fusible link and fed onto the exterior of the reel. A spring is mounted internally of the reel and attaches to the reel. A fusible link is mounted on the outside of housing such that the fusible link permits rope to be played out from the reel in response to pressure applied to the rope. The fusible link permits the rope to be pulled out from a position straight in front of the device and also from an angle. This permits the tether rope to be automatically fed out in response to anxious pulling by a tethered horse, or other animal. The spring-loaded reel, compressed when the tether rope is being played out, automatically retracts the tether rope in response to the spring loosening as a result of the frightened animal calming.
