I agree.  Keep in mind, I don't have raging rivers or mountains down here in 
Central Florida, so I might be able to get away with using a tie down on the 
trail when you cannot.

Let's just forget the tie down for a second.  My point was riding the horse 
in a two point stance, with your hand on it's neck, above the withers. I'd 
like to know if anyone else has tried this with a horse that rears?
