Re: [RC] [RC] The downside of bungees - tubes - Sarah WI can't say that I will ever use traditional bungee ties again. A few years ago, I hired a someone to haul my gelding, who was head shy at the time (something we had been slowly working on, he was head shy before he came to me). The hauler loaded and snapped him in but did not secure the butt chain (her error, obviously). No sooner did she step out of the trailer did my gelding come flying out, busted the bungee, and it snapped back and whipped him across the forehead. It was like going right back to step one with his head shyness. I like using inner tubes. But, be very wary of regularly inspecting them and replacing with any indications of wear. One of my yearlings took out a car size innertube this last winter because I didn't replace it - it was a few years old and starting to show its age.
