I would just like to remind everyone about remembering to fray bailer twine when using it as a tie up point for horses.
The other day i put new bailer twine onto my field gate, (no where else to tie upto) and for some reason did not fray it as i usually would. The end result to this was my horse panicked whilst tied up and the bailer twine did not snap so she ended up pulling the 5 bar gate off its hinges and galloping aroung the field with it banging aroung her legs.
Luckily i was able to finally catch her, but in this time she had seriously cut up all four legs. I was very lucky that the worse cut was only down to the tendons and not all the way to the bone.
So dont end up in my position thinking why did i not fray the bailer twine a bit. JUST ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DO IT.
Sorry for going on but if it stops it happening to one other person it helps.
