RE:tying up solution

NATRC.)<<

Ah, you see, you are wrong!  A NATRC trained rider would have an advantage
here. First, we would have tied with a safety release knot....quicker to
untie the horse. He would get that head start while the rest of you are
trying to open that corral which has to be tied, taped and bungee corded
shut to keep the horse from escaping.(see, advantage to tying over corrals)
Since NATRC riders are so good at finding where the judges are hiding in the
bushes, hunting down ones own horse would be a breeze. We would not have to
rope him, as once we found him, we would just say "STAND". (just like we
make them do for every judged mount) And of course the hog tying would not
be poor horsemanship if of course you used the proper knot, that was safe.
So again, NATRC training would have an advantage over those without.<grin>
