HiTie or portable corral?

FWIW, a ring in the poll piece of the halter+attaching that ring to a HiTie+ a horse that sits back and wants to get loose from that contraption= a loose, unhaltered horse.

You might be better off with a true horse collar instead.

Thanks for the tip on the horse collar. Hopefully we will not have any issues.

I get my trailer back this weekend (with HiTie installed) and plan to put many hours on it before trying it in ‘public’

I’ve got a collar and you are right it would work even better than a halter -love it.
