Dangerous Tie Off Spots

lucky_pine · 10-14-2006, 12:18 PM

So admit it, have you ever tied to something not safe? I know, I know, we're all good horse owners. None of us would EVER consider tying to something dangerous...
And that includes the trampoline:

Haha, so have you?

Nope, where I board, the barn owners would skewer me! lol And before that, never, I was usually in the barn, or in the wash stall outside, soo yeah, never anything unsafe.

Hummm, not that I can recall, but that must be a mighty nice horse to tie to the trampoline! and he is nice looking too! Cathy

I've taught all my horses to ground tie, so if I can't find a safe place to tie - ground tie they do...

You're guy is so cute! He looks very calm with a sweet eye.

He's a pretty horse and yes i've tied dandy up to stuff I shouldnt have. Now I dont, but I use to before I knew much about horses.

LOL Poor Lucky! I am usually pretty safe in the cross ties we have, or tied to the arena fence. I will admit I have tied to our little white picket yard fence often before though...

well i ted Ruskin up to a ring designed for it.. but it had no twine on it to snap... and he spooked, and took the whole of the plank of wood off with him..., and scared himself even more....

Of course.

One that sticks out was my ex boyfriend used to tie his horse to the bumper of his bronco lol

haha, no, I would be killed definatly by my BM

Tobey's so cute though cause if I have to run somewhere and grab something real fast I just somewhat ground tie him or stick the reins over the saddle horn and get it. Or I let him graze, which he never gets tired of lol. I just say "stay" and hold my hands up and the run and get what I need and come back and he's just standing there looking at me like "weird humans" lol

I try to stick to safe things to tie Cabeza to, but poor Rowan gets tied to whatever is handy. Good thing he doesn't move when he's tied. I tied him to a saw horse the other day. I also tie him with the reins, another no no.
