On trail rides for lunch stops, rope halters are great.
Not as heavy and bulky as the nylon or leather to carry.
The halter/bridle combos would be ideal, but I never got one.

If the knot is tied right, they won't come loose if the horse is straining on em. I had an old mare one time that lost her cool while tied up to a hitching rail one day. She was sitting back for all she was worth and when the buckle on the halter broke she cut a flip straight back.

She was a crazy old thing anyway.

Good morning everyone, Great to see the new thread, and new picures :)

I'll have to go back and find a picture of the pony to look at her feet. I like the rope halters, nice and light weight. We have two or three head stalls that are bridle/halter combination - for the horses that are ridden endurance.

Hope you all have a great day - sun is shining here again :)
