Hear! Hear! Everyone. Rope halters are for training/leading, etc., NOT for pasture use. If you have ever seen a horse with a "white halter" mark on his entire face, you have seen one of the lucky ones that survived getting a rope halter hung up. The unlucky ones are no longer with us. We also use rope training halters for tie-up while saddling, etc., but always in a situation we are in control of. Don't leave a horse tied up and unattended in a rope halter for long periods. If he panics or gets bored he can really hurt himself in one of these halters. Mary > > Jean in Fairbanks, AK > > A > >Thanks for the info on the rope halters.
