Hi Ralene,
When I saw that in the catalogue several years ago
I thought it was a neat idea so I called the manuf.
and they said it is not for horned breeds...probably
for the reasons Juliet mentioned. We find it easier
to set up a small cross tie like for horses and then
hook their collars to them and they cannot do much
damage to anyone as their feet, shots are done...oh
yes, we also have a third cross tie in the ground so
they cannot jump upward either. Victoria
