A precurser to contact during riding.<br /> When one lunges in a rope halter, with all the knots in play... should the horse come into contact with the rope/line...it bites and he twists unaturally, to avoid the knotted pressure points. Kinda defeats the purpose of relaxed forward/contact. And..the same goes for riding with them under bridles...the ropes and knotts can get activated by pressure under the gear. <br />I actually believe that tying a horse in anything that won't break..is a bad idea. Rope halters don't have ANY release..and I have seen horses- flip over -for PAIN, as there was no way out of the on-on knotted pressure. <br />I think they are great for ground training..some tying..w blocker rings.allhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-59517761963743495062010-08-12T15:04:01.129-07:002010-08-12T15:04:01.129-07:00To answer your questions: I will be doing more pos...To answer your questions: I will be doing more posts on other bitless, one being sidepulls where these rope halters fall into. I personally like rope halters. I have made many, many, many of them. They are useful for lunging and teaching a horse that is likely to act up with minimal force. The reason I and others put knots on the noseband is to discourage the horse from leaning on the noseband. Some horses need it, most do not but they do not cause any trouble. If I have a horse that likes to pull back when tied I will tie them with a rope halter a few times rather than a halter with hardware that is going to break. The worst thing when teaching a horse to tie is let them learn they can break things and get away. Then they start pulling back every time knowing they can escape if they pull hard enough.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523660446608394720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-61072536542374685702010-08-11T14:26:22.299-07:002010-08-11T14:26:22.299-07:00That's gorgeous.
