Don't think riding with a leadless horse is a good idea in unsafe areas.  I 
figure if you wouldn't turn your horses loose alone in an area and trust it 
would be OK in a blind panic gallop, then it isn't safe enough for taking 
one leadless.  I wouldn't take one out into an area that that horse hasn't 
already been ridden in and explored already.  Just common sense, seems to me.
