  Subject: [RC] rope halter warning
  
  I have noticed in our local tack 
  shops a number of rope halters with a metal tip copper or siver crimped onto 
  the end where you tie.
  My mare shock her head wearing one 
  of these and the metal piece hit the eye. The vet bill was expensive and she 
  always shadowed with that eye.
  Quality halters are spliced with no 
  metal parts at all. It is safer for the horse
