Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Portable Corrals

We purchased a HiTie system and used it on my first ride and loved it! I
think my horse was very comfortable with it also. I had a bucket of water
sitting on the fender hanging from a bungie and it fell off the fender and
she freaked and pulled back the thing bent over very nicely and gave her the
room she needed and everything was cool. Fortunately, the trailer next to me
was far enough away for the pull back though. They can get a longer ways
away with that bungie strap that comes with the HiTie.
