That is the type halter that we are speaking of. It's my favorite too.

The link that Miss Target posted calls it the "Be Nice Halter". Personally, I don't like that name for them. Rather misleading. Not that they're NOT nice. I just don't care for all the PC stuff that implies.

I hate that PC junk too. I read an article in one of these Palm Beach newspapers yesterday about how horrible bull riding is and rodeo in general. Some lady wrote that bucking straps cause "excruciating pain" to the bulls. Anyway, I read her letter and the gratuitous response and felt compelled to write a rebuttal. I'm working on it. I'll post a link later if I can find the article. You guys will just love it.

The Be-Nice halter and the one CBW posted are different. The Be-Nice halter tightens, the reqular rope halter doesn't.

The "Be nice" halter and a rope halter are different. It might be hard to see in that illustration, but the "be Nice" has brass ferrules on the poll strap, that can be turned to the smooth or raised side, for more pressure. The whole halter tighten when pulled back on, cheeks, chin and poll. Very uncomfortable, but effective. I felt bad, that the gelding had a indention across his nose. That was better than him really hurting himself, or others.
