[RC] To Tie or Not to Tie - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Sheila Larsen Sheila_Larsen@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I don't think it makes a difference just as long as the horse
can get its head down below the withers so it can cough or let
its nose drain.  I had a horse choke in the trailer once and
I was glad that she wasn't tied.  I would be concerned about
being able to let the horse turn around in a two horse front 
load trailer as they are not designed to carry the weight that
way.  On the other hand I have let my horse loose in my two
horse slant and lived to tell about it, but I wasn't comfortable
doing it. I would think that a two horse slant may be more
stable than a two horse straight load.  JMO
