Has anyone tried rope halters?
Lynda

Hi Linda,
I use rope halters made out of a very strong, but relativly thin nylon. They
are pliable and not at all stiff, made w/ the "good type" of adjustable
knots. I use the thin black ones under driving bridles when training or on
the marathon CDE phase, and some of the thinner,"slinkier" halters are great
for packing - just slip one in your coat pocket or saddlebag! Some people
like them, as they provide a little extra wake up call to horses that pull,
as it applies pressure over a smaller surface area.
We get them from an endurance rider who handmakes them in No. Calif. They
come in various colours, some multi, and range in price from $12.00 -$15.00.
If interested in these halters, (we do sell them), email privately.
Cheers, Karen
P.S. in the winter, I rely on the regular type of nylon webbing halter, as
they are easier to do up w/ gloved hands!
