Every ride proves to be an adventure! <br />As for my "runaway strap", I've rigged up a nylon rope (lighter than a lead shank) that loops through the noseband and then up through the breastplate D rings laying over his withers. I can quickly yank it free should the need arise. After one badly sprained finger (from hanging onto the reins), I needed a better option. I know Harley will head for home and I worry about vehicles on the road--those drivers with no horse sense. Like your Pie, it doesn't take much sometimes to spook Harley, and man can that horse spin!lmelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517919157975053481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7319986608351281898.post-67778881495264864282011-03-24T20:38:57.504-04:002011-03-24T20:38:57.504-04:00Hello, neighbor!

Thank you for visiting my ...Happy Birthday Harley! Thank you for visiting my blog. I am just now going to learn about your naughty and adorable boy. Sorry to hear about the nasty tossing, but glad he went back into the woods and sorted it all out. I, too, would like some sort of system for collecting an errant horse should they "go missing" after a fall. Your idea sounds like the old way we tied on our skis - that is it exactly - the runaway ski/horse strap. I would be afraid that the lead line would get tangled, though.juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488138405040629084noreply@blogger.com
