Re: [RC] For Marlene - lead ropes in trailer - Dyane Smith

Hi, Kristi,

Have you used them to tie to the trailer on the outside?  I wonder (assuming
you were very careful to stretch them out so that they weren't too long) if
they would work well for tying to Hi Ties?  I guess one big problem might be
whether they would give rope burns if the horse got hung up.

Marlene -

I found coil (they're not bungee!) ties at Valley Vet
(see link below) that work well. I bought the 7 1/2
footers. I tried the 3 1/2 foot one but it's a little
trickier to grab as the horse unloads because it coils
really short; the longer one still coils to less than
a foot long. I load my guys with them and I don't have
to even go in the slant with them now because I can
'send' the horse in and yet still hold the coil tie
till he's safely in, because it stretches. I then let
go and the coil tie shortens back up (without
rebounding hard), so I can leave it on the horse as we
travel without worrying about him stepping on it. Or,
if he did manage to, the coil would 'give' and not
panic him. The hand loop is too small for my liking,
but other than that I really like them. I do switch to
a regular lead rope as soon as we unload.
