The worse wreck I have seen is two horses tied to a trailer one on each
side.  One horse got his rope under the back door, paniced and pulled back.
 This flipped the door off its hinges which flew over and hit the other
horse in the neck, thus breaking it.  Needless to say the horse had to be
put down.

There is no foolproof way.  For my money I'd much rather use an well
grounded and well positioned electric corral than tie to the trailer.
