I use a quick release knot too, but just didn't get to Misty quick enough.Once Upon an Equinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807098276875052982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806296642977794691.post-37971153780736177172013-06-06T12:39:19.655-04:002013-06-06T12:39:19.655-04:00Julie Goodnight uses one for all of her horses and...Julie Goodnight uses one for all of her horses and the only negative thing I have to say about it, after using it, is that it's heavy. Leaving it on the lead rope while trying to lead will take some getting used to. Personally, I use a bank-robber's knot (a type of quick-release) to tie with, other than when I'm at Julie's barn, then I'll use the clip.<br /><br />It is super fast and easy, but the weight is a turn off for me.GunDivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965363044411500380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806296642977794691.post-1140202399489172032013-06-06T12:12:17.051-04:002013-06-06T12:12:17.051-04:00It's a never-ending learning experience.

A lot of people have good luck with the high lines/pickets. It was scary to watch Misty pull like that. Everyone remarked at how solid the hitching rails were. :-)<br />Once Upon an Equinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807098276875052982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806296642977794691.post-12155970537992304452013-06-05T20:34:32.445-04:002013-06-05T20:34:32.445-04:00Oh, the clip looks fantastic!Oh, the clip looks fantastic!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806296642977794691.post-60049428468816447822013-06-05T20:33:01.696-04:002013-06-05T20:33:01.696-04:00I'm glad that all turned out OK.

We used to have picket lines when I did Pony Club events - all horses were tied to a rope stretched between trees. Surprisingly I don't recall any panic situations. I'm thinking that if a horse did pull, the rope had enough stretch that it didn't cause panic. <br />I've never used a clip, just the quick release knot, and making sure that the length of the rope was safe. <br />And, speaking of safety, it irks me to see folks loop or tie rains around a pole.Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.com
