Re: [RC] Hi-Tie system and head tossers - Glenda R. Snodgrass

If you truly have a worry about this, then you can see if you can place the
bungee or tie rope in a piece of hose or tubing. Then it will not wrap
around anything. I saw this done in the back country, with some of the
packers who stake their animals out on a leg picket. By having the part of
the rope closest to the horse inside a long section of hose, the rope cannot
as easily get wrapped around a leg, and cause a rope burn.

I have not tried the "rope in a hose".....but it does seem it might
work...in theory anyway.


I have made two high-line systems using a 3' length of old rubber hose to
cover the bungee tie that connects to the halter, and it really does work
very well at keeping the tie from getting around a foot or anything else.

I haven't tried it on a Hi-Tie system but would be interested to hear from
anyone who has.
