If you camp in the desert where there are no trees to highline off. You will want some HiTies. It's only way to get a decent nights sleep with the horses teethered to the trailer. If I tie my horses to the rings, I feel them tug and pull all night. I never get any sleep. With the high ties, The fiberglass rods asorb the movement and I don't feel it. And I get to sleep.
I started using them years ago when I did CTR. At CTR events everybody has to "KEEP" their horses the same way at night. So if there are stalls, Everybody gets a stall, if there are not enough to go around, Nobody gets a stall. If you allow portable corrals, Everybody must have a portable corral. Hence the standard is that every body ties to their trailer. HiTies still count as tying to the trailer, |
