PVC panels
-- he,he, -- it can be done - rather
inexpensively - I did ---about 12 x 16 ft pen, but ---------
1) have a way to anchor panels !! = set
panels on metal post!! = and have way to secure, tie down!! , panel to
posts , --
- that, .. and they
will deteriorate - become brittle/break over time - increase risk of
injury.
First ride I ever did with Lyric ( 93)
- had pvc panel system - I developed - ( relatively cheap, fit together
well, corners / post and long sections, easy to haul / assemble )
== seemed good ! , secure !? ? so I thought -
- til he decides to put his head through and lifted it off the ground; lol
- luckily, I was standing there - and told him .....No!!!!.. -
he just set it back down. He had to spend the night tied to the trailer,.( NATRC
ride) I added post after that --- then went to electric pen with him -
whether, electric 'on' or not - he would stay in. My other horse -
got tied reguardless - I found he jumps of of
pens, even day after ride.( he should have been tired, by then). Personally,
perfer a pen - of some type = but I may tie 'a' horse at 'bedtime' - but, with
pen; I try and set up so - truck, trailer, trees, fence
line - or and other rig(s) make enclosure.
( I never slept well at rides - woke up too many
times to hoof beats - real or imaginary, and luckily - not mine, when
horses were loose )--
Just catching up on ridecamp post -
about leg wraps - true to some extent - does makes owner feel better
- definitely true --- and
- if doing leg wraps - you better know "how to
wrap" - but - --
There are times like when - if,
one is leg injured - the opposite leg - is wrapped to provide
support, especially if horse is stalled. (Check with Barbaro's
vets.?)
otherwise - traveling bangages - are to up
to individual -- if 'wrapping' - is better to
provide quits, or cotton material - under polo wraps/ or other
types unless = 'all inclusive' - a combination that provides more
protection, -- than support.
After some rides- I would used polo
wraps on my horses til home. Sometimes I would coat with poltice before
applying - thought would help with minor injury/inflammation - swelling -
?? tried this too late ===
Heard later , better
to prevent swelling, .... if can apply wrap .ie.,
early ... after ride, 'correctly', with or without
poutice, then cold hose after ... may help prevent " windpuffs" ??
Don't know ?? Idea,... is to prevent initial and subsequent swelling of
'space'., tendon sheath ? ?
As far as shipping boots, -
- I use! ( all individual ),
- why not ?? can / would prevent 'a step
on', or an 'off loading injury' ?? Cheap insurance, Stephanie
