The rope we use is specifically designed for horsemanship use. These rope halters do not cause pressure and the knots do not affect the nerves on the nose. Used by top clinicians for every day use and groundwork.
These natural rope halters are expertly hand-tied using 6mm polyester marine double braid rope, with knots balanced in strategic places. The loop to attach lines to hangs below the horse's jaw and acts as a hinge. The rope halters are made from high quality yachting rope that offers the ultimate in softness and strength making them an ideal halter for natural horsemanship training. It is thin enough to discourage the horse from leaning on it, yet soft enough to feel comfortable when yielding from their own pressure.
