Would you tie in a chiffney?

[Ranyhyn]

(sp perhaps)
What, if any, instances would you tie up in a chiffney?

 

[Capriole]

In no circumstance.

 

[Fairynuff]

do you mean tied up via the chifney or while wearing a chifney under a headcollar? If tied to headcollar as per usual, I cant see why not. It would be like tying up via headcollar while bridled.

 

[nixxyz]

Never. Far too easy for the horse to damage their jaw. If the chifney is not attached to leadrope then i dont see a problem as its not active so to speak.

 

[Capriole]

Oh, I got from the OP tie up with the chifney. Id never tie up directly to the chifney, no.

 

[oldywoldy]

Absolutely never - I know of two racehorses that were tied up in a horsebox by a chifney and they both broke their jaws - one destroyed the other a very expensive vets bill. I would not even tie up with the lead rope only attached to a headcollar.

 

[hayinamanger]

Absolutely not

 

[starryeyed]

Never.

 

[TelH]

I would never tie directly to any bit.

 

[AmyMay]

None.

 

[PonyIAmNotFood]

Not if i liked the horse having a lower jaw.

 

[*hic*]

It would take an extreme circumstance to make me tie up to any bit.

 

[Silent Knight]

Is this question from Crazy.com?

 

[Marydoll]

Never under any circumstances

 

[el_Snowflakes]

NO NO NO WAY!!

 

[Hedgewitch13]

I'm with the 'never tie up to a bit EVER' clique!

 

[catwithclaws]

NO NO NO NO NO!! JUST NO!! NOT IN A GAZILLION YEARS

 

[Flicker51]

Never

 

[Mrs B]

No.

 

[Pale Rider]

If you have a bin handy, put it in there.

 

[LollyDolly]

Nope, I'd never tie a horse up with an 'active' chiffney.

 

[Shysmum]

can't believe the question's been asked tbh - if the knowledge regarding the chifney bit is this shallow.....why on earth is one being used

A dangerous bit in the wrong hands.

 

[Doormouse]

CATEGORICALLY NEVER EVER AT ALL, EVER!

Chifney's have their place in the horse world but should never be used by anyone without experience of them.

 

[Ranyhyn]

I've never used a chiffney.
TOday I saw phOtos Of a horse tied via the chiffney. To a gate. That is chiffney-lead rope-twine-gate.
As I have never used one myself, I wanted to know if this was ever the done thing, before I decided the person was crazy

The person is not only crazy but putting his/her horse in insane danger and this is (IMHO) bordering on neglect.

Shakes head in disbelief and astonishment.

smiley face inappropriate

 

[Ranyhyn]

Excuse me? Are you talking about the smiley face on my post???

 

[ebonyallen]

Nice and simple NO.

 

[saffytessa]

It makes me cringe when I see people tacking up and clip their leadrope onto the horses bit, so no never tie with a chiffney.

I would tie using a headcollar over a chiffney but only if I knew the horse well and there was nothing obvious for the horse to get caught on.

 

[MrsMozart]

No.
