I feel the same about people who leave halters on their horses in the pasture or stall for that matter. If you can't catch your horse, then buy a Breakaway halter. I have seen too many horses hang themselves on the most seemingly benign fixtures. You are lucky to get by with slight nerve damage, but death is all to common. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
