???camping with horses?

When we take our horses camping we tie on a tie line using tree saver straps with rings and a non stretching line. We tie each horse far enough apart so they can't touch each other. Then tie them so they can just barely reach the ground. Their noses don't need to be on the ground. Make sure their is no slack in the tie line. Try this during the day so you can watch them and sometimes they will take naps after a long trail ride during the day. If your horse paws you can use hobbles, practice at home with hobbles. Our horses lie down all the time when they are camping.
