The Kerbl Panic Hook is a classic “panic-snap” style fastener, engineered to attach a lead rope or tether to a halter or stable ring. As described by the manufacturer, it features a 14 mm eye and is made from galvanised metal for durability and resistance against rust and wear. Its key advantage lies in its safety-release mechanism: under strong pull or unexpected movement, the hook can still be opened easily. This “quick-release under load” feature helps prevent injuries or accidents if the horse panics, pulls back, or becomes entangled, making the Panic Hook a valuable safety tool for stable, transport or turnout situations. Because of its simple, sturdy design and safety-conscious functionality, the Kerbl Panic Hook is a useful staple for any stable or horse-handling environment, especially when tying horses in stalls, barns or trailers.
Target Species: Horses (also ponies as applicable)
Application: Attach lead ropes or tethers to a halter or stable/tie-up ring while allowing a quick-release safety mechanism.
Method:
Attach the Panic Hook’s 14 mm eye to the halter’s ring or tether point.
Clip the lead rope’s end (or tether) into the hook’s clasp.
Ensure the lock/clasp is properly engaged.
When tying: always leave enough slack for comfort, but not so much that the horse can get tangled.
In case the horse panics or pulls, the hook can be released, reducing the risk of injury or equipment damage.
After use, inspect the hook for rust or wear, clean and store in a dry place.
Frequency:
Suitable for every situation where lead-ropes, tethers or ties are used, stable work, grooming, washing, transport, or turnout.
Always check the hook’s mechanism before each use to ensure safety and integrity.
Galvanised metal construction: Durable, rust-resistant and built to withstand stable and outdoor conditions.
