The cheapest insurance on your whole rig. This braided nylon rope tie down keeper holds your tie down strap up and in position, so it stays where it belongs instead of sagging wher e a leg can catch it. We recommend running a keeper with every tie down we sell — a few dollars of rope that can save you a wreck. Simple on Purpose One length of stout braided nylon rope, looped and hand-tied off with a knot that doesn't slip. The loop runs about 8" long, the black disappears against any rig, and there's not a single piece of hardware to rust, squeak, or work loose. Nylon shrugs off sweat, rain, and mud — wipe it down and it's ready for tomorrow. Specs Material Braided nylon rope, hand-tied Loop length (approx.) 8" Color Black Hardware None Fits Any standard tie down strap Made in Indiana, USA Frequently Asked Questions What does a tie down keeper do?It holds your tie down strap up and in position while you ride. Without one, a tie down strap can sag low enough for a horse to paw over it or hang a leg in it — a keeper is the simple piece of safety equipment that prevents that wreck. We recommend one with any tie down, ours or anybody else's. Will it fit my tie down?Yes — one size fits any standard tie down strap, including our 1" leather tie down strap. The 8" rope loop has enough give to work with the setup you already own. Why rope instead of leather?For this job, nylon is the right material. It holds its shape wet or dry, never rots, needs zero maintenance, and is far stronger than the job requires. We save the leather for the parts of your rig that earn it. Building a full setup? Pair it with our harness leather tie down noseband and 1" leather tie down strap. Show more
