Expert Posts: 1286 Location: Mississippi	I would like to set up a patience pole - it will be set in concrete. I was initially thinking about putting it in the middle of my roundpen but hubby thinks I should put it somewhere else because it would be permanent and may get in the way. Does anyone have one in their roundpen and do you find it gets in your way when working a horse?

Extreme Veteran Posts: 489	I have 2 telephone poles set outside my round pen with a cable stretched between them (very high and across the round pen). I dropped a rope from the center of the cable to tie horses to in the round pen. I can tie horses in the middle of the pen, but nothing is solid to get in the way of riding. The rope actually runs up one pole, across the cable and then down - it is adjustable for height and I can release a horse without getting in danger if there is a problem. I love tying this way because there is no wall/fence/pole to get in trouble with.

So I can keep a copy on my phone??
