I tie my pony up to the small tractor in front of the garage, (the walk-way to hay barn and field/paddock is out there too, as well as the muck heap and wheelbarrow storage.
I do this because the other horse fidgets a lot and sometimes closes Dusty's stable door on me or her.
Someone told me that this is dangerous but here is why I don't think it is. From this info can someone tell me whether it's dangerous or not? If any other information is required or pictures are required just let me know.
She doesn't fidget and is a really well-behaved pony to tie, and I always tie her up with a hay net.
Any sharp bits on the tractor are well above where she is tied and she is only 13.3hh as well.
She is tied up to a piece of string/baler twine with a quick release knot, just in case.
If she does get free the gates at the front towards the road are always closed, the hay barn and field are to her left and we can shut her in the muck-heap area if necessary, and then of course we can shut the yard gate. Also there is grass in the car park and she'll probably just go straight there. But again she's really calm when in the yard, and it's probably a 20% chance of her getting free.
Thanks in advance,
