Highlining a Horse or Mule | Outfitters Supply
A highline is simply a length of rope stretched between two trees to which you have tied your stock. Included in any highline kit should also be a pair of Tree Saver Straps. Most areas, especially wilderness areas, are requiring the use of tree saver straps around the trees to prevent them from being girdled by highline ropes. Additionally, to make them easier to use, our TrailMax™ Highline Kits include the Original TrailMax® In-Line Swivel. This offers a quick, easily installed tie up spot for each animal and the In-Line Swivel ensures that the load rope will not get twisted up tightly or completely unraveled. We discuss exactly how to set up a highline in our blog "Highlining a Horse or Mule".
