Inner Tube Is Not Tied to Trailer!!!!!!!!!!

Only very large, strong inner tubes should be used.

Fasten the tube to something Very Solid.

If you have a large oak tree, use a major branch that is still very
solid and strong about 10-15 feet from the trunk. You must hang it
high enough that the horse cannot get in the tube. Tie your lead
rope to the inner tube. This works very will for a real problem
horse.

for a minor problem horse, fasten the tube to anything solid and then
lead rope, then horse. just remember that when he pulls, it will pull
him into whatever the tube is tied to... could be a little too
interesting.

We have a lot of very large cedar bushes. they have large, long
branches that come spread up from the base, the first fork is usually
about 4-5 ft up. They are wonderful to tie to because they will bend
and pull back without breaking.
