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,

Trust me, there are places on the prairie where there are no trees to high line to as well.
