[RC] securing horses - heidi larson

Doesn't seem to really matter what you use, an accident can
happen, it's just a matter of reducing your odds.  Friends
horse on a hi-tie got his rear leg over the lead rope
scratching his head, ugly rope burn on rear leg. Gotta
watch those wheel wells, piece of plywood seems to help. 
Electric fencing works great for alot of people for a long
time, then someone else's horse wrecks it.  I've high-lined
many times with no problem, once though, had a leg go over
just like on the hi-tie comment above.  I've tied to the
trailer, just not enough room for my horse for my liking. 
I've now got panels, but I know they won't stop my horse if
he's freaked out enough and decides he needs to get away. 
I sleep with one ear open and clothed so that I don't
offend neighbors should I have to make a hasty exit from my
trailer and rescue my boy or someone else's wayward equine!
