There is no such thing as a tackle box in FED, and horsecollar tackles are not allowed anywhere.

TBH, the reason a horse collar tackle is dangerous is that if it occurs while the runner is at high speed, it buckles the knees. At low speed (more likely behind the line inside the tackle box), it's just another tackle.
