Oh, boy.  This is another subject where people have opposing and
strongly-held opinions.

My take on it is, "It depends."  On the horse and the trailer.  I
never tie Kahlil, which may have saved his life when we rolled the
trailer on I-20 and he flipped completely over.  I have to tie Nykoss,
though, or he'd get himself into trouble and badger Kahlil.
