Here, we describe why Ising spin chains with competing interactions in SrHo₂O₄ segregate into ordered and disordered ensembles at low temperatures (T). Using elastic neutron scattering, magnetization, and specific heat measurements, the two distinct spin chains are inferred to have Neel (↑↓↑↓) and double-Neel (↑↑↓↓) ground states, respectively. Below T_N = 0.68(2) K, the Neel chains develop three-dimensional long range order (LRO), which arrests further thermal equilibration of the double-Neel chains so they remain in a disordered incommensurate state for T below T_S = 0.52(2) K. SrHo₂O₄ distills an important feature of incommensurate low dimensional magnetism: kinetically trapped topological defects in a quasi-d-dimensional spin system can preclude order in d + 1 dimensions.
