Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Tie Rings

Nice product. We have one. We have a Thoroughbred mare who insists that
boogiemen just fly out of the air at her an some very inopportune times and
they seem invisible to us. Otherwise most of the time she stands quitly. We
can be standing there, not standing there, saddled, not saddled and we've
yet to figure out what ghost she's seeing. We bought one of these at the
Western Horse Expo on the recommendation of our trainer who uses them all
the time and at least now when she pulls back, it gives and she relaxes. We
tied a knot in the end of the rope so that it can't slip out completely, but
six feet of rope seems to be enough for her "tantrum" to be over. We even
sent her out for a month just to fix that and she's better but she still
"sees" something every once in awhile.
