[RC] Hi tie set-ups - Lani M Olson

For those of you experienced in using any type of high tying set-up, do you use flat nylon halters or rope halters?  Having lost a once-in-a-lifetime mare when a trainer tied her with an oversize rope halter (she got the side of it in her mouth, dislocated her jaw and crushed the nerves in her face, paralyzing the left side of her face and throat so she could no longer swallow) I am curious.  I still use rope halters myself, although the appropriate size and tied properly, but I haven't used one of the hi-ties and am considering it.  Experienced input would be appreciated.  Thanks.   Lani
