 My biggest beef with NATRC is that you have to tie your
 horse to the trailer all night.  My understanding is that

I know, it seems a lot of people are worried about that aspect of NATRC.  
Honestly, I feel safer with my horse tied and even when I could use a 
portable corral, I still tie.  He's comfortable, safe, he can lay down, roll, 
everything AND he can't run through camp with electric tape and t-posts 
flying, or with portable corral panels hanging off him like some kind of 
weird equine jewelry.  I've watched a lot of horses at endurance rides in 
their portable corrals, and they don't seem to move around any more than my 
guy does tied to the trailer.  Of course, this is a totally unscientific 
study!
