Re: RC: Loose Horses

["Truman Prevatt, PhD" <truman.prevatt@netsrq.com>]

If horses get loose and your horses are in their runway, be they tied to
the trailer, in a pipe enclosure or electric tape they will probably
cause problems. Try to camp where if horses get loose they don't have a
direct shot through your horses. Use your truck to block them, use your
trailer to block them, use woods to or high grass or ditches to block
them.

The location of your where you put your horses is as important - if not
more - than how you restrain them.
