good control over a horse. The halter is light and comfortable while the horse is behaving but the thinness of the rope gives it some bite when the horse pulls. I find that it is better than a stud chain because it gives some control over the horse but is less likely to make a horse angry than a stud chain. The thin rope may look weak but it is a heck of a lot stonger than your arms and the horse is less likely to pull because it hurts the horse if he pulls. It is best used with a 12 foot lead rope for more leverage. </I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Caution:</B></I></div> <div> <I>Do not leave any halter on a loose horse.</I></div> <div> <I>This halter may break if a horse is tied up with it.</I></div> <div> <I>This halter may cut if a horse fights it.</I></div> <div> <I>Not recommended for tying a horse in a trailer.</I></div> <div> <I>Not responsible for misuse of halter.</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>TIE KNOT 1</I></div> <div> <I><IMG SRC="68b60740.gif" border=0 width="96" height="116" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I>TIE KNOT 2 (easier to loosen)</I></div> <div> <I><IMG SRC="68ca08c0.gif" border=0 width="160" height="140" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I><B>Time</B></I></div> <div> <I>Time it takes to figure out how to tie this rope halter - 2 weeks.

Measurements are from knot to knot and do not include knot. Make the knots firm but not tight because you will be bringing the rope back around to tie into those knots. The last knot in about the middle of the rope is a knot with a loop for the tie loop of the halter. After you tie the tie loop you go back and tie into the knots you have already tied.</I></div> <bR> <div> <I><IMG SRC="69021710.gif" border=0 width="545" height="113" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <bR> <div> <I>To tie into a knot, loosen knot and tie into knot following rope path. </I></div> <bR> <div> <I><IMG SRC="68ee3a70.gif" border=0 width="483" height="167" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <bR> <div> <I>Tie into the left nose knot first.

Test all knots before putting halter on horse. If halter falls apart, knots are not tied correctly. Untie all knots and start over.</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>Slip knots to adjust size of halter. Trim tie ends the same length and melt them with a match to seal the ends.
