This message is from: Sessoms <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The rope halters (like Silvertips, etc.) can't be left on an unattended horse. There are no weak points on them. New flat nylon or leather halters are also so strong that a horse can't escape if it hangs on something. Many companies (BMB for one) are making flat halters that will break with a fair amout of stress.
I just bought a pair of rope Silvertip halters at Equitana and I enjoy them because thy have a lot more handle on them than a flat halter. On the circumfrence of the muzzle, where the noseband wraps around, there is bone on top, then a groove, then a meaty/muscle part and another groove below that. I think that for ultimate control I need to put the two knots on the meaty part of her muzzle, now they rest in the groove below it - can anyone confirm this?????
