Neoprene Crupper : A crupper will hold the back of the saddle down, as well as keeping the saddle in place when going downhill. If you do not use a crupper when going downhill, your saddle may run into your mount's rotating shoulder, and /or the girth run into his elbow /arm pit area-with the potential of galling and soreing them terribly. It will also keep your saddle from ending up on your mount's neck! The proper use of a crupper can help alleviate both. This crupper has a pliable braided nylon core for strength, and is sleeved with soft Neoprene that actually doesn’t chafe! The tail loop has bridle snaps on both ends so it rides balanced and has a long center strap of black nylon webbing which can be easily adjusted either long or short for different backed horses. Stainless Steel Hardware. HVF-Exclusive. To properly adjust the crupper: Square your horse up, adjust the crupper so you can lift it off the rump 3-4 inches. The loop on this crupper can be purchase separately. Item # HR-C – Price $45.00 and Loop Item # HR-Loop - Price $20.00.

Neoprene Tail Protector: Designed to help prevent rubbing of tail-hair and protect the tailbone during trailer travel. An absolute must-have for horses that are hauled in straight-load trailers, who either sit or ride on their rear-ends against the butt bar or on the metal divide. (Trust me, it will take a complete summer for tail hair to grow back in--but over a year if the rub wears a bald spot into the tail.) Available in black, hunter green, red or royal blue. Specify color. Item # HR-TAIL - Price $15.00 |

Bells:
Bells are commonly used to alert wild life when you are riding in an
area and are used on high-lines, picket-lines and fencing to alert
owners when things are getting out of control and require attention.
The large copper cowbell is copper and measures 4 x 3 x 2 and has a
deeper ring. The smaller liberty bell is brass and measures 2 x 2.5
inches and has a tingly ring. Item # HR-CB Price $4.50 cow bell or Item # HR-LB Price $2.00 for the liberty bell. |

Picket Line Tightener:
This "tight rope" is the ONLY way to tighten up your sagging picket/high line. It is so easy and yet ingenious (we were the inventor's
inspiration for this gizmo, after he saw us struggling with our
self-tightening knots). You may think about making one yourself but for
the price offered… forget it. Just order one, you will never be sorry.
How to use: Put your rope up and make it as tight as you can by hand.
Then position the two knobs of the tightener so that the rope runs
between them. Then firmly hold the tightener and begin to walk-twisting
the tightner so that the rope twists around the knobs of the tightner. When very tight, latch the clip on the line. HVF-Exclusive.
Item # HR-PT – Price $25.00 *Safety Tip* When horse camping, space your
leads 20 to 24 feet apart, giving each animal an area that is 10 to 12
feet. Set the length of the animals lead long enough where they can lie
down. Make sure that he is 8 to 10 feet away from any vehicle, trailer
or trees. |
![]() Why use a picket line? Go to questions |
Picket Fastener:
This fastener used on picket / high line ropes, is so simple that it
surpasses the others on the market. It is easy to use. This 3.5 inch
round ring is large enough to allow for the passing of a lead with a
knot at the end or for a picket line lead with a quick release snap. To
fasten this ring to your line, double the picket line rope into a loop
and pull it through the ring. Then reach through the loop, pulling the
ring back through, forming a "larks head knot". Fantastic! Item #
HR-PF - Price $3.00 *Safety Tip* When horse camping, space your leads 20 to 24 feet apart, giving each animal an area that is 10 to 12 feet. Set the length of the animals lead long enough where they can lie down. Make sure that he is 8 to 10 feet away from any vehicle, trailer or trees. |

No-Knot Eliminator
Picket Fastener: By popular demand, I’ve included this picket
fastener. If you use a line heavier than a half inch or a line with a
lot of stretch, (basically not the rope we sell) you will find that the
other picket fasteners will "pop" loose. With this No-Knot-Eliminator I
can absolutely guarantee a secure hold! Item # HR-KNOT - Price $5.99 *Safety Tip* When horse camping, space your leads 20 to 24 feet apart, giving each animal an area that is 10 to 12 feet. Set the length of the animals lead long enough where they can lie down. Make sure that he is 8 to 10 feet away from any vehicle, trailer or trees. |

The Horse Positioner:
At last a picket or high line fastener that you can put on both a
high-line cable and a picket rope too! A fastener that you can move
without lowering or loosening your high line/picket line. This
ingenious little loop attaches easily to rope or cable stays put and
will not slide. Position your hay bags, feed bags and horses and
reposition them with total ease. We offer a 2-inch ring for an
additional $1.00. This ring will allow for a quicker release of your
lead rope. To use the horse positioner: 1) Hold the positioner with your
hand by the copper crimp in front of the line and about 2" above it. 2)
With your other hand take the bottom of the "horse positioner" and bring
it up behind the picket line and through its self and over . 3) Repeat
step 2 two more times. 4) Pull the loop down and straighten the rope so
that copper clip is flat in front and the coils of rope are not over
each other. 5) To test, slide "the horse positioner" side to side with
your hand on the rope coils (not the bottom loop), next pull side ways
with the bottom loop and it will lock each way. 6) Note, if the loop is
too long, repeat step 2. Item # HR-HP - Price $4.00 each or 4 for $15.00 Optional ring - Price $1.00

Picket Line Rope: At last here is the picket or "high line" rope you are looking for. This top quality poly rope has a soft broken in feel, with very little stretch. This rope comes only in red for easy visibility. (My youngest daughter was nearly taken out by a rope that she did not see and had a scar on her neck all summer.) I strongly recommend that you also have your picket leads in red as well. State length or at .40 cents a foot request a custom length. Item # HR-PR - Price for 30’ is $12.00, 50’ is $20.00, 75' is $30.00, 100' is $40.00 or any length in-between. *Safety Tip* When horse camping, space your
leads 20 to 24 feet apart, giving each animal an area that is 10 to 12
feet. Set the length of the animals lead long enough where they can lie
down. Make sure that he is 8 to 10 feet away from any vehicle, trailer
or trees. |

swivel panic snap on both ends or change out to a snap of your
choosing on the other end (for attachment to your horses halter). This lead is adjustable from 2 to
7 feet and designed in such a way that when adjusted short, will not
loop open, avoiding possible injury. HVF-Exclusive. Item # HR-PL -
Price $12.00 ** NEW OPTION** Select either of the all stainless steel snap on the left (trigger snap is stainless steel and swivels) or the snap on the right (safety spring snap) in exchange of the center snap (quick-release panic- nickel over iron) for the upgrade price of just $3.00!

of your high line to your trailer, then run the rope through the ring at
the top of your "picket pole" and tie off with a "belaying" knot (a
continuous figure eight, securing the end by tucking it under the last
crossover) on the arms of the cleat. Quick and easy. Pole is strong 11 gauge

![]() ![]() The coil tie stretches LONG, so keep this in mind when selecting a place to keep your horse. I prefer the Picket leads that do not stretch when putting your horse on a picket or high line. This coil tie would be fine for the high tie/ride and tie/picket arm units that attaches to your trailer. |
![]() Coil•Tie
takes the hazardous sag and droop out of old fashioned cross ties and
front ties in the aisle, wash-stall, trailer, picket/high line or
anywhere you tie your horse. With no adjusting needed the Coil-Tie
stretches and retracts to follow the horse’s head, allowing the freedom
for him to eat and drink off the ground without stepping on a sagging
rope or having a lead that drags on the ground getting wet or under
foot. 7-foot lead. This tied is excellent for one horse on a high
line or on a high tie or spring tie arm, but personally not recommended
for more than one on a high line as it gives the horses too much
movement. If picketing more than one horse select the above lead. –
coil tie comes in black color only. Item # HR-CT $14.50

This will allow you to adjust the length of your rope as needed. Also recommended for slippery indoor surfaces.
This setting is a harder pull. Will hold your horse securely and still allow the animal to pull back if necessary. We recommend this setting for most situations.
Putting the rope all the way to the bottom of the clip will lock the rope in place for no pull. The Clip:
Video Question -
for you... |
The Clip: Even the calmest of horses can struggle with pressure on occasion and "The Clip" solves this problem. When a horse is tied to something solid and pulls back and pressure is created at the horses poll. This pressure can sometimes induce a state of panic. "The Clip" allows relief from the pressure. If your horse were to pull back the panic is stopped before injury from falling, running away or have the neck snap. The clip keeps our horse safe inside and outside the trailer and is great on a picket line especially one that does not give. Item # HR-CLIP - Price $18.50 (reg$19.95)

Saddle Up ® will lift your saddles up, out 24 inches, and down 20 inches from of your trailer. |
Won 1st place 2005 Kansas Inventors’ Congress for safety. Saddle –Up ®: New product available exclusively though Hill View Farms or factory installed in new trailers.

Designed for a standard rear tack compartment that is 36 inches deep. Saddle Up ® will lift your saddles out 24 inches, and down 20 inches from of your trailer and back in again. Making it easy to access, lift out and put away your saddles. NEVER AGAIN will you have to lift up or balance a saddle over your head. NO MORE falling backwards trying to stand balanced on the edge of your trailer when putting your saddle away or when trying to get your saddle out of the trailer by dragging it off of the top rack only to have it fall on you! Saddle –Up® is 72 inches tall, has 4 saddle racks holding up to 250 pounds of saddles with racks adjustable in one inch increments. Saddle –Up ® will come with a 12-volt ball screw actuator (which makes Saddle –Up ® go up, out and down), that can be wired either directly into your trailer wiring or to a battery (not included).
