Training halter fixes pulling back, lunging problems

** Update: I’m sorry but I’m not making these anymore since we’ve taken a temporary break from horses. Thanks! **

I came up with this halter while trying to help a friend get over some problems with her horse. He was fine most of the time, but when she went to take him out to the arena, he would decide it was playtime and do everything short of run over you to get his way. He was regularly pulling the lead rope right out of the hands of his owner so he could escape and run around. It was almost impossible for her to lunge him because he would throw his head to the outside of the circle and make a run for it.  She didn’t want a really aggressive halter on him regularly, so I made a dual-purpose halter.

It’s a regular halter, with a hard poly type rope integrated into the nose piece and behind the ears. You can connect the lead rope to the regular halter for comfort, but the lead rope can be easily switched to the second ring and the poly rope will bite in all the right places to get the horse’s attention.  It leverages pressure points on both sides of the face and over the poll.  This lends it to stopping horses that want to either pull back or pull away.  After it was completed we placed it on the young gelding finalizing the fit for pressure points.  It worked very well both when he was tied up to stop him from pulling back and also while he was being lunged.  If you are interested in purchasing one, send me an email.
