Re: tying in a trailer

[Chris Paus <paus@micoks.net>]

the reasons I gave, especially with nylon halters which have no "give." A
leather halter would break. I like the idea of using a bungee tie instead
of a regular lead rope. My trailer doesn't give my horse a lot of room for
looking around. He certainly can't turn around in it. There is a solid
divider so he can't get his head stuck in it. But you've all given me
reasons  to rethink my strategy.
