Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 02.0836 - Alice Yovich
Since I do NATRC I have no choice but to tie to a trailer,
but I know my mare well enough to know that she needs to be tied and
better tied to a trailer than a picket or in a corral. She tends to pace
and move a lot when at liberty. At home I leave her out except for
feeding times and only use her stall for when I need to be clean and
stationary for my convenience. I know that she knows about electric b/c
in KY that was the kind of fencing we had. But I'm not sure I'd trust my
corral to leave her in it overnight. I think we'd have to practice
first.
Do horses tend to colic any more or less when tied vs. corral?

When I first started endurance I

almost inhumane :-p I mean, how could anyone just tie them to the
trailer like that? Can't they see they need to move? I mean just because
people have been doing that since the beginning of time doesn't
mean it
should still go on, right?
