In that case, I would ground tie or hobble. Using the saddle as
an anchor is a compromise solution, not quite secure enough for a
horse that does not completely buy into the idea of being tied,
and not necessary for a horse that does.

My point was that a working horse in training, tied at carefully
chosen times and places, will become conditioned to *like* being
tied. Once conditioned, such a horse can be tied almost anywhere,
anytime, to almost anything. Even to a cactus, if nothing else
is available. In cactus country I would not put a saddle on the
ground; too much risk of collecting cactus spines in the saddle
lining or the pad/blanket, then having them work into the horse's
back.
