Stovar, my 5 year old Fjord gelding, and Blue a paint gelding, both who were bred and raised as foals by me, are houdinis. Blue would actually step between the electric fence wires and step out of the pasture, much to the chagrin of his pasture mates. We never knew where he'd be when we would get home from work. He was sold to a friend and is baorded at another friends and they always have a new "blue" story about him unlatching the gates, the stalls.....freeing all the horses...and so on..... Anyway, Stovar slips out of halters and bridles, almost at will it seems. I use ties with the metal safety snaps to tie him anywhere I go in public. And he is tied short, I don't want him getting any ideas about "leverage". I do think I broke his cross tie/halter slipping out problem in the barn. I have attached a small hunters bell (from state line tack) onto his halter, and he keeps himself amused ringing his bell. Maybe you could try this? Michele
