I
switched to bungie ties years ago after realizing how being tied hard could
panic a horse. I've had 100% success rate with bungie ties. Horses don't panic
and fight, they stretch them a ways but always relax and come back forward
again. I have had most of my ties made for me with a heavy grade bungee rated at
1400 lbs. I use them at the trailer, for cross ties, wash rack, etc. I always
thought they would make sense for high ties and picket
lines.

BungeTies
Bungee,Panic or
Shock Ties/Cords...???
Have a horse that doesn't like being tied, but is
learning.....in the meantime....he seems to do well on a tie line between
trees, where he can move around without the immediate and final limitations
typical tying does.....He'll tie at the trailer, pull back once, scare
himself then stand still, but remains very frightened......
So I am thinking the bungee thing might be a
solution......Your thoughts will be appreciated..... Jeannie
