Wellington, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/17/2013 -- Good Horse Products is a distributor of equine supplies to equestrians and their horses, has announced their much anticipated launch of the Equi-Ping: an easy safety release for tying horses!

No more ugly unpredictable hay string!

The product, which won a British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA) innovation award, was created by Newmarket thoroughbred trainer Martin Smith after witnessing an incident in which a racehorse pulled a wall down onto itself.
