I while back some of you were talking about nylon halters that break...I have NEVER known a nylon halter to break! I've seen horses hand themselves up in the trailer with them before actually.

And in all honesty, I would only ever use a breakaway halter. I know that's not popular in Western circles but if my horse can't break free, then he will panic and there's no telling what he will do. Something to keep in mind if you ever have a hotter horse.

hmm. thanks! i think its also personal preference. i think that ill get one nylon, and one rope to see what the horse/what i prefer

@EmeradleHills

I understand why others would use them but I guess I rather use rope halters because I train half wild horses too. But I agree, becareful with/around hotter horses

I've never known a nylon headcollar to break either. They just get worn and old lol

.

We have a nylon and rope halter, I feel that you have more control with a rope halter, as the long lead rope with it let's you get the horse out of your space if they kick out or something like that. I use the rope halter for lunging and bringing in and stuff like that. I use the nylon for tying up and grooming. Just have in mind with a rope halter you need to use a special knot for it, it's quite easy to learn and you could easily find YouTube videos on how to do it

^ Agreed

thank you so much for all this advice!

Have you owned a horse before?

I know you have worked with them but you wouldn't be able to go straight into buying a horse who needs a lot of work.

Do you have a job to pay for all of these things?

If its ok to ask, what age are you?

no, i have not owned a horse before. and i promise: i am not going to buy a horse before i have much more experience. yes, i have a steady income, and if thats alright, i dont really feel comfortable sharing my age <3 (ive had a bad experience when i was younger)

Yeah it's ok <3
