At a ride camp you have many people who not know how to handle their horses and are really not experienced riders and if they were to try and hobble what a night mare it would be. I have seen horses running through camp dragging the electric fence system with them and have heard of horses dragging panels, horses getting feet over the trailer ropes or Hie tie systems. Nothing is full proof. Just do what you think is the safefest for your horses. I like panels but went to a 8' trailer and can't haul them anymore and now useing the Hie-Tie system and so far I like it. My horses will also stand quietly in a non electrified, one string electric fence but you never know what might scare them. At Ft Howes one year it started hailing and 3 or 4 horses in an electric fence went nuts and took off. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
