Cross ties are not used in riding per se, they are used to tie a horse for grooming, saddling, or other procedures. They consist basically of two ropes attached to the horse's halter from either side of its head, and further attached to structures like a stall or barn wall. They limit how much the horse can move around but also can cause them to feel trapped and panic... and occasionally flip over backwards and injure themselves and others. They are commonly used in larger stable operations.
