You know you can get an add on bridle that snaps to your rope halter.Running
Bear farm and Zilco both offer them, along with some other vendors. Jackie
Baumgartner showed me hers and they work great. I'm now hooked. They have a
little piece that snaps onto your rope halter. Those halter bridle combos
just dont work for me or my mare. She has a really tiny head and they are
too big and cumbersome on her. The other good thing about the add-on is that
you just unsnap and take it off and your halter is still on.
