Re: [RC] Hi Tie rigging - Marv WalkerJust to follow up....
We had a warmblood mare back up with TWO 5/8ths bungees hooked to her halter. Since they were both anchored really solid I sat there and waited for her to come rocketing back into place. She had the cords stretched to three times their length when one let go and gave all the weight to the other which immediately gave up the ghost as well. The stretching of the bungees shrunk the diameter enough to pull them out of their clips while still retaining the clips to the cords on one side of the clips. One went completely through her lower lip and blew the backs off of two of her lower incisors and chipped one biting edge really good. During the two hours of Sunday barnyard surgery we had a lot of time to talk to the vet about bungee injuries and fatalities. Marv "No bungee, no more."
