Where are you? I am in Ashland, Oregon (Southern Oregon) and I
have two sets of corrals that I will probably sell. I haven't used them in the
past year or so and don't really miss them. I have been using the Hi Tie system
and like it well enough. I really do prefer the corrals for the freedom to move
around that they afford the horses but it is such a pleasure not to have to put
them up or take them down. I also think that they may be a bit more subject to
accidental injury if a bunch of horses got to running through camp. In seven
years, I only had one accident and used the corrals as two seperate ones or
combined for a larger enclosure. One of my horses (totally out of character)
turned and for no apparent reason began kicking the other who fell into the
panels and everything went flying. Damaged one of the panels but luckily, my
horse was only temporarily out of commission so we did not get to ride that
ride. That could have been a huge wreck but the gods must have been smiling on
us that day.

Ps
If you decide to purchase a Hi Tie (Marlene Moss of Moss Rock
endurance is a good person to get them from. She has been so easy to work with
that I will send an extra monting unit to someone who purchases from her. Having
an extra mount has allowed me and my friend to only purchase one Hi Tie system
each and with an extra mount, (one on each side of the trailer) we can safely
accomodate two horses on whatever rig we decide to take. I think my friend also
has an extra one.
I am about to invest in a new portable corral or
high ties. Any insight? I usually haul two, sometimes three horses. What about
safety of High Ties. Does anyone have experience with the different panel
systems.
