Re: [RC] securing horses - Laney HumphreyI sure hope all the lost horses are found!!! I have 2 hi-ties, one is mounted vertically, the other horizontally. As I remember, the older ones had to be mounted horizontally, the newer ones can go either way. I started, years ago, with Trailer-ties which worked well. When they wore out, I got the Hi-Ties which I like just as well. The only times I've had problems was with a clutzy horse who could get himself tangled in anything but had the sense not to struggle when he was caught. Another horse kind of sat on his lead rope when getting up from lying down and broke the hi-tie but that was very unusual. No tie system is perfect but problems are minimal with trailer tie systems if you are careful not to get the tie line too long.Laney Shagyaarabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: Need some advice. Lost my horses this past week end at the Chicken Chase Ride at Clark St. Forest. I had a very secure electric pen but horses at 3:30 came through it releasing my three. My mare took the two geldings out of Bill Wilson's fenced in area through the gate to the trails. Amy did her best to get there first but it is hard to outrun 3 determined horses. The rest of the excited herd of 12 or so were caught within the field. On Saturday they were seen about 4 miles into the trail system, dry fork loop. One was caught and ponied home. (I don't know who) but thank you so much to take the time to do this. They were not seen at all on Sunday. Please contact me if you sight them. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
