Re: alternatives to halters during turnout

[Abby Bloxsom <goneriding@snet.net>]

Lif -

I don't know about Mickie's, but my halters are made from those nasty
old rotten stirrup leathers that you don't want to throw away but can't
use anymore.  They break easily, and I buy brass rings from Teddy to run
the leather through - that's what I snap onto.

I have smallish turnouts, though, so when they break and the ring falls
on the ground they're fairly easy to track down.  The ring is near the
broken collar, and with a new hole, the collar will then fit the next
smaller size horse.  Quite handy.
