Seconding what Joe and Kim said, not about your situation, Dawn, but in general ... About your lighting affecting others. Someone had, I think (?) one of those...
On an entirely different topic ... I have a 7 year old National Show Horse who is a joy to ride, smart, rateable, athletic, and a complete idiot in camp about...
I've never used a Hi-Tie, but I've heard good things about them in terms of their safety (of course, realizing that horses have as their main goal in life to...
Patti, if you are going to try a Hi-Tie, I would suggest that you also invest in a horse collar (available at Valley Vet Supply). I changed from a Hi-Tie to an...
Oh, he's a character all right! LOL Some of it is just cleverness, but clearly he has separation issues too. What I really need is something to contain him...
Shhh, that is a trick he hasn't learned yet, but excellent advice, since heaven knows he's a creative punk. My husband has visions of him having a tantrum and...
... From: alleganySUAR I suppose I could tie him to the trailer like you did, but I always worry about them finding a way to get injured on the wheel well.<<< ...
<grin> talk to Karen Chaton....her horses use hi-ties, and can be less than sedate once and awhile as the other horse leaves camp. Jonni Original message: My...
That's a relief to hear and hopefully Karen will chime in. I've been pretty systematic about this guy, taking him here and there solo, purposely taking him to...
Sorry to bug you all, but I've only done a few training rides at night and I discovered that my horse *hates* any sort of light by her breastcollar. I've tried...
Dawn - before we did Crysta's night ride a few weeks ago, I had never used a glo-stick on Roo before, and neither had my riding partner on her horse. We...
Funnily enough, we got to watch the Hi-Tie in action last night, when my friend took her horse was taken away from his buddy to get him vetted. The leaver...
Thank you!! Off to check the Ridecamp archives re: any significant differences between the Spring and HiTies, but sure appreciate the hysterical leavee report....
Just a quick note on collars for horses. All of our horses wear collars at pasture to cut down on halter tag. We make sure horses are well "broke" to it before...
Well our group of 10 got through there without too many problems yesterday. Several of the horses did hesitate about stepping down into the rocks and water....
... Below is something I wrote to RC recently explaining the differences (I have close friends who use the Hi-Tie, so it's almost like having them myself,...
Lucy, On the spring tie do you have to take the whole thing down or just the arm? Thanks, Teri ... From: Lucy Trumbull To: new100milers@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Thanks! If I have the right websites and products, looks like the Hi-Tie (Sportack) is about $100 more than the Spring Tie. Seems like the Spring Tie is the...
... If you peer at those photos - there is a white "socket" that is bolted to the side of the trailer and stays there permanently. The Spring Tie has an...
http://www.springtie.com/ http://www.sportack.com/cms/index.cfm/path/94789/96339/96340/ I have 3 Hi-ties. Put them on for the long XP2004, traveling with 3...
I have to agree with everyone else: tying, either to the trailer or to a hi-tie is the best option. I keep planning on buying hi-ties, but for years have been...
Don't be so sure about that, Nicole. My friend, who was given a horse abandoned on a piece of property, turned the tall, lanky, older horse into an endurance...
I'm glad to hear you all got through without any big issues. We were too tired after our ride from Robinson Flat to F'hill on Saturday to continue on to...

I've seen some bad and near fatal wrecks with those. If your horse goes down entangled and you release it, it will fly up - and then back down again. They are...
Many thanks. :-) Will check out your website, but hope you don't mind a panicked email or two with questions about the hobbling training -- that is new to me!...
Patti, I always train my babies to hobble when they are under a year old. I think it is great training for whenever they get caught in something so they won't...

This thread makes interesting reading, though there are a lot of strands to it. What light can horses see? This is a biology question, so I looked up 'color...
