Loose horses are a problem for everyone, not just
the owners. I think if i was a RM i would consider "No Electric Fence",
just because if one gets out a bunch get out and i've seen it too many
times. I have felt secure w/ tying a horse to the trailer. It rocks
and rolls but at least you know whats happening and who is there. I have
never had a problem tying to a trailer or a tree.
Which gets us to Page 93 of the GAHR Book at the
bottom of the page, for those that have it. Here's the story....I was
laughed outta Luray and they all thought i'd be home in a few days. I was
in 5th place in the GAHR w/out any crew, living out of the feed truck that
hauled my stuff. The first day i got help it was somewhere in Ohio and a
crew from home showed up and i let them take care of Jose. That page 93
tells the story. Jose got a rope burn and i missed 2 days and fell into
the 30's or so and never got any better that 28. I 'm not proud of that
photo, but it seems apropos to tell the story regarding confinement.
