how come nobody has mentioned that turning out horses with a lead on is a no no?

With a lot of people, it's not a 'no-no', but has been used as a training tool for years. I know a lot of people who turn their horses out with a lead on... if they step on it, the learn to calmly step back or to the side and they learn to not panic. It can really help teach a horse to stay calm when their head is 'caught'. As long as the lead is kept on in a safe enviroment, or as long as they're kept a close eye on, it's fine.
