[RC] Confinment at rides... - Susan

I've taken my horses camping for 40 years and have confined them overnight, or for several nights in a row, in various ways.  Yes...there are pros and cons with everything you do.  There's a right way and a wrong way and I've tried both.
 
USUALLY, it's not my horse I have to worry about.  Several times other's horses have escaped, yes, those tied to trailers too, and have run through my camp.  My horses try to escape the crazy horses while staying in the safety of their "camp".
 
We each have to figure out what works best for our horse that day.  The problem isn't how to confine them; the problem comes when they get lose.  THAT'S when they go crazy.  Do whatever works for your horse that day.
