Jonni,
I have had a horse lay down tied to the trailer, and
get his feet under the
trailer! It was not a pretty sight. Fortunately he
was ok. 

Horses can hurt themselves in the safest of
situations.

If one is concerned about a horse getting stuck under
the trailer, why not rig something (out of plywood for
instance) to block the space under the trailer &
around the tires?  It wouldn't take much work to build
& would provide peace of mind.  

As I noted in my last post, I've been tying to the
trailer for years.  I've not had a problem, but some
of the newer trailers have a lot of space under them
and a lot of sharp edges.  When we get around to
replacing our ancient trailer, I do plan on doing
something to block that space.

A horse on a hi-tie could get their legs under the
trailer as well as one tied to the trailer.  In fact,
so could a horse in a corral if the corral is attached
to the trailer.
