I will give it some more use in different situations before giving my feedback to EquiPing, but Im cautiously optimistic the Mark II is a goer.

^^ this, although my big 'orse has yanked on it with his teeth, and it held up fine, although it now has teeth marks :D

Yes I like mine so far too. Going to trial it with the youngsters soon.

Im planning on testing it with some youngsters too, and the big horses, bit more of a trial than the pony.

Mine seems fine too - but hasn't been put to the test with a bath or pull back yet though.

No, nor here. Pony ties very well, which is why I was surprised when the mark 1 didnt work.
 
The early signs from testing have shown that the sleeve makes them even harder to open than we anticipated so we would advise using them with just 2 prongs engaged to begin with.
We are expecting to have the new version ready for sale by late March or early April, we will be exhibiting at Badminton again this year and hope to see you all there.
Really looking forward to it :)
 
Have to admit feel at bit peeved at this thread. I bought 5 to use on my lorry instead of baler twine as I thought safer, looks better etc.
They have turned out to be fairly rubbish for aforementioned reasons. Manufacturers now basically saying they realised it was poor design and a year later replacing it with new design.
Well come on, its not exactly a high tech item, where technology has moved on and hence remake needed. its a simple item that should have been properly engineered and tested in the first place :mad:
I certainly wont be giving the manufacturers any more of my money to "update" my ones! :confused:
 
Perhaps if you contact them they will offer you one or two for free? During the trialling period of the new design I emailed explaining the issue and recieved one new complete MKII and one sleeve to use on existing. I agree its not ideal but as a whole the product is a fab idea- safer than baler twine, no velcro to go 'fuzzy' and dont ping like the rubber break point ones + they are reusable- and Im pleased the company has taken on feedback and worked to improve the product. I completely understand where you are coming from however and wouldn't buy 5 complete new pings I would expect to get the new 'sleeves' which fit over the ping for free/ at cost. But as I say I recieved a really positive response from equiping so I would recommend contacting them and seeing if they can do anything :).
 
i actually like my original mark 1 equi-ping. i do it on the tightest setting and it takes my horse a fair bit of pulling to snap it. With him, I need something that will undo when he decides to pull as he wont stop once he starts until the pressure is released and starts to panic if it doesn't snap. i tried all the other elastic type ones but he just broke them as instead of the quick release coming undone, the elastic just snapped.

It only took a slight turn of the head from my pony to ping the M1, not even a tug.



yes, the M2 is much better imo. Been using the Mark 2 for a while now and its not pinged needlessly at all.
 
Blast, have just bought one of these, not seen this post, and it is the one without the sleeve! Wonder if theyll take it back !
 
A long gone old boy I used to work for when I was a teenager, taught all his horses to tie up with a length of chain, leather headcollar and a bristle broom up their arse if pulled back - they didn't and remained easy to tie up.

Times gone by !!
