I keep checking on my horses and notice that their leads keep breaking.
I have them set up with a single post to tie them to, 3 hay bales lying a block a way and a 3 long hole with water filling it a block away. This set up for 4 horses each ones lead breaks after a while.

Yes Ezekiel, this also happens with the current version (1.6.2 SSP), at least to me. It happens when the chunk (the animal is tied on) unloads and loads again.
Example: I ride with my mule from my base to a mine, then I tie it to a post, enter the mine (which is huge, +400 blocks straight), mine some goodies and then, when I go back to the mule to unload the inventory, I find the animal untied and wandering a couple of blocks away and the leash item dropped on the ground next to the post. Gotta contribute with screenshots, though.

"So I tied a horse to a fence then closed out of Minecraft, then later when I came back on the leash was gone, they still acted like there was a leash BUT THE VISUAL LEASH WAS GONE"
@Ymus: IT IS NOT a duplicate, they are different bugs. If you read carefully, in MC-14826 it says that the leash VISUALLY disappears, but the animal is still tied to the fence. In this one, the leash BREAKS, it drops on the ground, and the animal is set loose.
This is happening on my 1.6.2 server. When the chunks reload around my horse, I find the lead on the ground and the horse unleashed. The horse continually is escaping and I have to track it down and releash it.
This is NOT a duplicate of MC-14826. I've been having the same problem. It's not a visual issue. If you tie an animal to a fence then go far enough away for the chunks to unload, when you go back the lead has dropped as an item and the animal is wandering free. The lead has not visually vanished on unload, it has broken and dropped. Please re-open the issue, it's not resolved. :I
This is definitely NOT the same bug as MC-14826. I've had both. The invisible-but-still-attached one has popped up a couple of times, but I get this one all the time. The leads are lying on the ground and the horses are wandering far, far away from their hitching posts. This is quite a bit different than having a horse appear to be free, but be unable to ride it more than 10 blocks away from the hitching post. Trust me, when you've had both you can tell the difference.
For those looking for the actual lead breaking bug, here is another report, which has (miraculously) not been closed yet: https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC-19925 Maybe they're starting to believe that this bug exists, too?
Edit: Nevermind, they closed that one, too.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
