Re: [RC] Pulling weight - Carol SuggsDo tell us...how is the rig and how is "screw loose"...did everyone weather the wreck? Sounds like the emergency brake didn't do its job and if the truck was out of gear and with an 800 pound horse pulling on it, makes sense that it would move... Maybe buy a tie blocker ring for "screw loose" ? It is my opinion (mind you not based on any scienctific studies or surveys but just my good old gut opinion) that these would help a horse that pulls back. But also my opinion that if you start using the tie blocker ring that you should ALWAYS use it. For those that are unfamilair with this item, it secures the horse but if the horse pulls back it gives a little. Normally these are used with a 12 foot lead rope. Horse can keep pulling back until they are at the "end of their rope" and typically they only pull back a little, get relief and stop.

Tied the horse with the loose screw in his brain to the trailer. Trailer is hooked to the truck. Trailer truck and camper weigh about 16,000 lbs. Emergency brake is on, but truck is out of gear. The whole rig is sitting on a flat surface Screw loose pulls back and doesn't stop pulling. He pulls the whole rig 10-15 feet until it hits the hill and takes off on its own. 800 lb horse pulled 20X his weight. Who needs a stone boat. Just hitch them to your rig! Alison A. Farrin If one wanted to do real weight training with horses you could train them to pull a stone boat. The weight in the stone boat could then be adjusted so the horse did say 10 repetitions of 16.5 feet for the workout.
