Re: [RC] halters around neck - Jonni JewellI think most of us have done it this way forever. But I have to admit, I have had those horses that think to much (Arabs of course) , and have tried to do a quick escape right as the halter lowers and clears the nose, before I can get the crown rebuckled. The tension that horses and riders are feeling during the morning of a ride can add to "mistakes" happening. I believe the Europeans have used buckle nose halters (or head collars as they call them) for years. Just offering an option for those interested. They are also great to use for clipping the face etc. (not that any of us would go to such trouble with our trail horses. LOL) Jonni Heck, I was always just taught to unbuckle the halter and slip it off the nose and then immediately rebuckle it so that it serves as its own "horse collar." That was so ingrained in me as a kid that I would have to have a fight with myself to take the halter clear off prior to bridling anyway. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
