Hi all,

My friend that I will be doing rides with just ordered three Hi-Ties for 
her trailer.   I told her that the bungee-type attachments they come 
with aren't the best way to go, and that a lot of people modify the 
Hi-Tie to use a non-elastic rope with a safety snap.  I know from 
experience that my own horse did  not like having to stretch the bungee 
to get his nose to the ground when he was on one.  This leads me to 
believe it inhibits eating (when the hay is on the ground) and laying down.

Can someone give me some instructions to give her on what type of 
rope/straps/snaps, etc. to use and how to attach it so that it will be 
safe, be adjustable for length, and meet the safety requirements of a 
CTR judge?  We will be doing both endurance and CTR so have to keep that 
part in mind.  :)

Thanks,
Jennifer
