[RC] Hi Tie rigging - apleg8'nJust to follow up.... My hubby gave me a rigging for my Hi Ties to try this weekend at Pacific Crest. The only way my brutes can escape from this is to rip the entire fiber glass rod off my rig. The "snaps and line" are rated for 26,000 lbs of force. I will see how it works and let you know next week. And we are now devising a fail safe method to prevent ripping off the rods too, just in case. Also, I talked to the Hi Tie dealer and they told me that I have the "OLD" style quick release. Apparently they had a lot of escapees with the quick release snaps they started out with and changed to the barrel style release snaps. I still don't like those as one gal emailed me that her horse can turn them and still get away. HI Tie did not offer to replace my OLD style unless I wanted to pay them for a whole new bungee strap with the new style release. Also too, when I had my Hi Ties put on my rig, the Exiss dealer put them on a different way than the Hi Tie says to mount them. They are mounted with some kind of Boat thingy (gads, is that girly girl talk or WOT?) and are much more secure than what HI TIE gives you. They will never be pulled off the side of my rig. By the time I get these things all dialed in, I should market my own Hi Tie system. Sigh, never ending sheet. amber rackinfool www.applegaitnendurancehorses.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
