<< Has anyone tried rope halters? >> Hi Lynda- I am enjoying the posts on halters. I started with the halters which "came with" my two geldings. They were flat nylon. I had problems keeping the horses heads out of the grass, especially when leading both at once! I heard that thin rope halters offered more control, and found this to be true. When my horses' heads hit the ground, you need a crane to get them back up. The rope halters give me an extra edge in keeping the heads up while leading. I agree that leaving halters on can be dangerous. I let my horses run loose in the arena (halters on) before we "work," but I am there watching. When unsupervised, halters are off (and removed from the area, as they will chew them up : ) Brigid in CA
