One can find horror stories about EVERY possible way to tie a horse.  I'm 
among the ones who prefer to tie firmly and stoutly to the trailer, but there 
are ways that are safer than others.  Truman's story is another where someone 
forgot to check something, and an accident happened--no worse than not 
checking any other means of securing the horse, and even then, things CAN and 
DO happen sometimes.
