A flexible and removably detachable tie-out and tie-out system are provided. The tie-out includes a rigid portion removably coupled to a flexible portion. The flexible portion allows total universal motion of the tie-out and absorbs the pulls and tugs of an animal, while preventing damage to a trailer, the tie-out, and the animal. The tie-out system includes a base. Secured to the base and set out by a spacer is a receiver that is adapted to receive a connector. The connector couples the receiver to the tie-out. The tie-out system may be mounted easily for set-up on horse trailers or other structures. The connector and tie-out can be left attached or removed from the trailer while traveling. Furthermore, by having additional bases and receivers mounted where convenient, a detached connector and tie-out can be moved to multiple sites on the trailer or to a building or other structure as the need arises.
A tie-out adapted to be removably coupled to a structure, the tie-out comprising a rigid portion removably coupled to a flexible portion and extending outwardly therefrom, the flexible portion having a quiescent state and a flexed state, whereby the application of a predetermined amount of pressure on the flexible portion can move the flexible portion from its quiescent state to its flexed state, the flexible portion adapted to return to its quiescent state as the amount of pressure lessens to an amount below the predetermined amount of pressure.
