Tracy, good idea. Thanks again. I'll
let you know how it goes once I get it built, but I will definitely need at
least two rings two accomodate my three horses. I just brought home my
newest horse from the trainer. He is 15h and by far the easiest to
mount. He is great. We are going camping this weekend with a friend
and her horse. I can't wait to see how he does with that. So far he
has taken Everything in stride. He is a TW/QH cross and has the best
attitude ever. I'll keep ya posted.
You're welcome and good luck. Something I thought of while taking
the pictures....and later went ahead and did it, was to tie several rings into
the rope that will accomodate my different height horses. Since the rings lay
flat they don't rub or anything and then there's no adjusting between
horses.
