I have no problems using a connector strap in front, same as with 
four-in-hand leaders (but only in CDE's, it's a no-no in pleasure driving !) as 
that 
helps a little to keep it all together, and know that some people also tie 
together behind. Personally I don't find the hind end important, as when they 
want to 
swing out to face each other or such things, I just drive forward and things 
straighten out. The problem becomes more when trying to rein back, but also 
there, I try to get it accomplished without tying together in the back. Just 
keep everything very steady and very calm. Just train standing there relaxed, 
and 
only once everything is calm and relaxed at the halt, then I very carefuly 
ask for just one step back, keeping a whip carefully on the outside, if one 
wants to swing out. Relaxation is the key.
Good luck
Hardy
