My boy Sid can take off a rope halter
or any halter in seconds. If I let him rub his head on his front legs he usually
comes up with his bridle half off. Panels work for him.
Lucky for me he sticks around when he
escapes and comes most of the time when he is called
I have one horse that
frequently unsnaps his leads and unbuckles his halter. He does this by
rubbing, so a regular snap or the quick release snap don't work for him,
nor a nylon strap halter, as he gets them unbuckled by rubbing. He has
been seen galloping down our road many times due to his habit of rubbing his
head. I now use a rope halter on him, with either a bull snap or
tied-on lead rope. I suspect some day he may find he can rub the rope
halter off over his ears.
