I have used a panic snap for tying my 38 inch mini in my stock trailer. But that is designed for the pull of a "regular" horse and I wonder if it would give way for a mini? I think most about being in an accident with the trailer and would want the lead to give way, rather than have him hang by his neck. So if not a panic snap, then what? I've heard of using baling twine, but all of the farmers around here use the nylon twine, not the string type, so I really don't think that would give way either. I have seen Blocker Ties and Safe Clips, which look like they would eventually release, but just as a slow pull. I'm not even sure a leather halter crownpiece would give way. Any thoughts or experiences?
