Tying in trailer

[onebigjump]

So another trailer question (Sorry!)
The inside of my trailer doesn't seem to have any where obvious to tie the horses too.
Do I/can I bolt in some tie rings? Also one is a Shetland so should I put one lower?
On another note am thinking of wedging a bale of hay/straw Infront of breast bar so the wee sh*t can't get underneath it, anyone tried this?

I'm surprised that there are no tying rings, but yes to your questions.

As for the bale of straw, I would put it in a bag so that if they paw at it they won't get their leg caught in the string. (You know that horses can find any number of ways to get into trouble).

Just put up some tie rings strange that there aren't any though, what are those chains either side near the bars for?

I wouldn't put anything in front of the breast bar I would just put shavings down and have more at the back and middle to soak it up.

I think the OP means putting a bale in front to stop the Shetland pony itself (aka “wee sh*t”) getting underneath the breast bar…

Oh right I took it literally as wee and sh*t I did wonder how it would end up at the front

I would put the haynet round the centre partition so two horses can share and put tie rings where I mark them and put baling twine or quick release things on

Perhaps your existing tie points are the metal loops on the top of the grill at the front?

Good thinking, will get a bale of shavings rather than a bale of hay!

They're the adjustable hooks for the breast bars

Thank you, yes will put some in where you have suggested

I did wonder that, but they are quite far forwards and every trailer I've used they've always been to the side
