Re: [RC] Pros and Cons of confinement systerms - Karla Watson
And some people have found they have to modify
the hi ties or their horses will pull hard and get loose too easily. A friend of
mine had her 2 get loose the night after a 50 and they were running in the
forest with their leg wraps & blankets all night and most of the day.
Fortunately they were found mostly unharmed. There are people probably on this
list who can tell you how they have modified them so they cannot break free
easily.

For people that tie to a trailer or use one of the Hi Tie
systems, if it is possible for your horse to roll, please be sure you have
covered up the wheel well some way. I saw a horse roll while tied to a
trailer, get a rear foot caught up between the wheel and the fender. It took
four people to get his leg out and the damage was permanent. Julie
