>> dont usually ride with a halter.  If i think I will need one I stow
 one in my saddle bag thingie

Halter bridles are awesome! I love my Zilco one. Raven

where I couldnt have heard his sudden pawing and stomping it could
have been real bad

This is the number one reason that I use a high line or a HiTie when
camping. I tie one end of the high line to my horse railer and the
other end to a tree, post or another horse trailer. During the night I
feel a gentle tug when Huginn moves or grabs hay from the hay bag. If
her were to get tangled I would feel the violent shaking of the
trailer and it would wake me up. In fact, this did happen once. It
felt like an earthquake. I had Huginn on a line, the ground was sloped
just a bit, he must have laid down and kinda got cast, as he could not
roll back up due to the slope.

There is no 100% safe way to confine a horse. You need to use whatever
method you feel secure with.

Janice...I'm glad you were able to get Teev untangled!!
