Fwd: Re: [RC] making rope halters - heidi sowards

Here you go Bonnie!!!!!!


For the rope halter --

1)  Use a 30 ft, 1/4 inch cotton rope.
2)  Tie rope around neck so two, three fingers can slip
between it and
horse.  Use a bowline knot.
3)  Let rope hang straight.
4)  Make a loop in rope and put over horse's nose.
5)  Make a second looe with rope and put over horse's
nose tucking this loop
under the first loop twice.
6)  Pull end of second loop up each side of face and over
ears.  (Slid it up
so it goes on like a headstall.)
7)  Continue to pull about another foot or two up.
8)  Take this rope, twist once and tuck it under the rope
around neck.
9)  Pull loop forward on each side so it makes a
browband.
10)  Now take up any slack in rope at loose end of rope
under chin.
11)  Take rope under chin up tight and make a small loop
and tuck under two
nose loops under the chin area.
12)  Drop end of rope through this little loop and
tighten up.
13)  A HALTER.

I've used this on colts and had a couple try to get away
but they can't.  It
fits like a halter.  I use it to tie all my horses to
trees when I'm having
a lunch or just leading up or down hill, cross a stream,
whatever.  When
done, I untie it and put back on saddle.  Then I can use
the same rope to
open a wire gate or pull a big branch off trail.  I've
end cut a couple feet
off end and given it to a hiker on trail who's backpack
strap had broken.

can you explain how you do this Bonnie? I have used a

rope

with a slip knot loop over the poll/under neck and a

loop

over nose, but I have a feeling your's is more sturdy

and

functional. Did you get my e-mail on the goggles? Will

they

work for you?

Hi Judith:

Do you want it to stay as a rope halter? Or become a

rope

again?

I use a rope halter on my horse when I stop but I

make it

from the 1/4
cotton rope I have on my saddle.  Then when I don't

need

it, take it off and
its a 'rope' again and back on my saddle.

Does anyone out there have instructions for tying a

rope halter?  I seem
to

remember there being some but can't find it. 

Thanks
