I wanted to swap stories about the age old problem, "Where do I put my horse when I get there?"

I have been to arenas that dont have stalls or I wouldnt put my horse in their stalls, I have been camping and had my stallion who was tied attacked by another stallion who got lose, and a friend had her horse that was left tied to a high line while she rode her other horse stollen.

 

Hmm... I guess my advice would be to research beforehand, to find out whether or not there are stalls and if they are in good condition.  That way you can plan accordingly.

As far as camping is concerned, I prefer those portable electric corrals to leaving a horse tied.

Ive been traveling for over 25 years with my horses. You cant always find out what condition the stalls are in and if there opinion of a safe place is the same as yours.

I agree its better to have a place for your horse to move around or lie down if you stay over, its better then tying. Ive heard of a lot of accidents with the different corral systems out there and seen a few.

 

True I haven't been riding for some time nor been camping for along while with horses. So I'm just thinking off the cuff here as to what I would try to do if in your situation. What comes to mind is taking steel panels with me in the trailer, of course with them securely fastened to not move during transport, and setting them up, by the trailer w/modifications I added to secure the panels, to make a small stall/corral of sorts. It sounds like you usually have a group of others around who could help with the panels if you needed it. If I had 1 horse, I'd have a 2 horse trailer. If taking 2 horses, I'd have a 4 horse trailer, etc. so I could leave the panels on the trailer. For that fact, you perhaps could even modifiy the trailer to secure the panels on the outside for transport, but I would caution always being sure there's no chance of them coming off to cause a wreck or worse.  Feel free to completely ignore my suggestion, as I am just thinking off the cuff here. ;)

 The reason I wanted to try to start this topic is because I wanted people to stop to think about that question so they will take time to research the different options available to them.

As much as I travel I see so many un-necessary accidents that happen to horses that could be avoided if people thought it out first, "Where am I putting my horse when I get there". Believe it or not a lot of people don't or they don't know how to use the system they have brought.

Personal I only use one system because I don't trust other options out there.

years back our 4h group went camping with the horses. we built corrals out of tree's (of course this was on one of the leaders property so we had a nice assortment of trees to pick from and possiblities

Most of the camping spots we go to around here that allow horses, also provide pens for them; even though I've never seen them lie down in a strange pen; however we've also been to many rodeos, playdays, etc where we were too late to get a stall or pen and have tied the horses overnight many times and they do just fine.  If there's room we run a line between trailers or trailer and tree/post and hitch them to that, but if not we just tie to the trailer.  guess mine are just used to it, but we've never had any problems.

 Yeah almost certainly very fortunate for the lector! Most of the posts in the blog kindle with tremendous cognition... Thanks for the dossier! None of the writing services could implement such an chance, all they can do is to make me buy custom essay papers which are not extraordinary. The only thing you've got to be acquainted trying to make an unique composition is that you can buy term papers or buy research papers about anything.
