Awhile back, I decided to try out a rope halter (top
picture) for the first time with my horses, instead of the more popular nylon
halters (bottom picture) that I had grown up using. The rope halter was highly
recommended by my trainer and other horse professionals that I had talked to. So,
I decided to try it out and buy one for my horse Memphis. At first it was
difficult for me to learn how to tie the halter so it wouldn't fall off, but
after a while I got the hang of it. My horse seems to like it and he responded
a lot better to the pressure he received when he tried pulling away. Because
the rope is thinner than a normal nylon halter, the horse can feel the pressure
of it and can ignore it or push through it like the nylon ones. I like the fact the rope halters don't have any form of metal on them that my horse could injure itself with. Especially the clip that is used to take the halter on and off. Also, the rope
halter was better for my 15.3 hands tall (63 inches at the wither) horse and
me who is only 5'1". After I had worked with this halter with one of my
horses, I decided that it was a great halter and I needed to buy one for my
other horse. This was one of the best purchases I made more my horses and
myself. I have noticed that over the years, these halters are becoming more
popular, especially among trainers and professionals. I am really happy with this purchase and I would recommend them to all who own a horse.
