Horse back is my favorite way to hunt even though I don't do it as much as I used to. Your little 40 pound gyp should be perfect for a saddle dog. Just carry it in front of you in your saddle ride on top of the bay and drop it, caught hog! If you choose to lead it then make sure it won't catch your horse. I've seen a few rodeos when people thought their catch dog was horse broke, myself included. Just because it won't catch your horse while walking does'nt mean it won't when your in a lope. While horse breaking a dog I ride with a bull whip in my hand. If the dog looks catchy towards my horse then I pop it on the head with the whip. By the time you can get your E collar control out and push the button then the horse is already caught. Most smart dogs will learn to get right beside your horse or under it while in thick brush so that it does'nt get tangled up in the brush. If you loop the end of your lead over your saddle horn then make sure you remove it from the horn while crossing creeks, gulleys and rough terain. About 8 years ago I was going down the bank of a deep dry creek bed and my horse lost it's footing and we rolled down about a 20 foot bank. When we hit the bottom somehow the dog lead had half hitched around my leg and the horse jumped up and took off. She drug me for a half mile down that dry creek bed. I got knocked out at some point and about all I remember is wakeing up in alot of pain with that horse sitting on my stomach and the bull dog sitting on my chest. She was a big wide built mare and when the creek bed narrowed down she tried to go in between two trees and got stuck. She could'nt get free and sulled up and sat on me! My buddies caught up and cut me free and got her off of me and pulled her out from between the two trees. If it was'nt for those two trees then she would probably still be dragging me and that bull dog. It was by far the worst horse wreck I've ever had. Good luck it's an awesome way to hunt and I hope the info will help.
