Haltering Your Horse
A horse halter is headgear you put on your horse to guide him. It fits over the back of the neck, just behind the ears and around your horse's muzzle. Unlike a bridle, a halter does not have a bit that goes into your horse's mouth. Halters are used to help retrieve, lead, or hold your horse. Once the halter is fastened around your horse's head, you can then lead him by pulling on the muzzle part of the halter.
Halters are made of varying material and workmanship (and of course, a wide range of prices). Leather halters tend to be the most expensive, but are the most durable if you take the time to keep them in good condition. Rope halters are made from braded material such as cotton or sometimes nylon and are generally very inexpensive. You can buy premade rope halters or make your own (they are fun and easy to make). Rope halters tend to stretch or shrink requiring frequent readjustment. Nylon halters constructed in a flat web design are cheaper than leather halters and last a great deal longer than cotton rope halters. Nylon horse halters cleaned easily and are not usually subjected to rotting or mildew.
The type of horse halter you use is simply a matter of preference. And regardless of the kind of halter you use with your horse, you put it on the same.
