    If you have a bungie lead, do use it


    Be careful with the bungie leads!!!! They do give and I have used them, but they are not perfect! I have had a weanling pulling on one break the cord (and yes this was a bungie made for horses). The sun will weaken them. Horses can break them...had a broodmare start pulling in the trailer....she was ready to get OUT. The bungie broke here too. Luckily no one was hurt. When the bungie broke with the weanling she flipped backwards several times until she crashed into the horse trailer. Luckily she only needed 8 stitches in her head to close the gash. Otherwise she was OK...just very shaken. It took me 3 weeks before she would even get close to the tie post again.
