KM Elite chain (Black)

KM Elite Stall Chain – Black

A stall chain does one job: it lets you leave the stable door open so light and air get in, while still giving the horse a line it understands not to cross. This one is 130cm long with an extra-tough aircraft cord running through the centre and a clip at each end, so it goes up and comes down without tools.

It is worth being clear about what it is not. KM Elite state plainly that the chain has a defined breaking point and is not a substitute for secure housing — it is a visual and physical barrier for a horse that respects one, not a door. Used on the right horse in a secure yard it is the simplest way to improve airflow in a stable that would otherwise stay shut.

Performance & Benefits

• 130cm, sized for a standard stall opening.
• Extra-tough aircraft cord centre rather than a plain chain link.
• A clip at each end, so it hangs and unhooks in seconds without tools.
• Lets daylight and fresh air into a stable that would otherwise stay closed.
• Useful where a horse is in and out repeatedly through the day.
• A 4-hole steel mounting bracket is available separately for a permanent fixing.

Suitable For

• Stables where airflow and daylight matter and the door would otherwise be shut.
• Horses that already respect a barrier and stand back from an open door.
• Yards secure enough that a horse loose in the aisle is contained.
• Handlers going in and out frequently for mucking out, grooming and feeding.
• Not a solution for a horse that barges, weaves at the door or has ever gone through a barrier — a KM Elite Stall Guard is the more substantial option, and a closed door is the honest one.

How to Use

• Fix a ring or the optional 4-hole steel bracket to each doorpost at chest height.
• Clip one end to each side so the chain hangs level, with no slack for a leg to get through.
• Unclip one end to pass through rather than ducking under or stepping over it.
• Take it down and hang it clear when the horse is turned out.
• Wipe the cord and clips clean and check the clip springs still snap shut.

Care & Caution

• KM Elite state that the chain has a defined breaking point and is not a substitute for secure housing. Use it only in a secure environment.
• Never leave a horse unattended behind a stall chain.
• Hang it level and taut. A slack chain is a leg trap.
• Do not use it on a horse that barges, rushes the door or has ever pushed through a barrier.
• Check the clips and the cord for wear before each use and replace the chain once the cord is frayed.
