Halter-Tying Success,
Second Edition
A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Hand-Tied,
Rope Halters for Horses

Tying a few well-placed knots in a single length of rope to make a rope halter for a horse is an age-old skill historically passed directly from one horseman to the next. This traditional halter-tying knowledge has been carefully captured and presented in Halter-Tying Success.

In the second edition (contents), step-by-step-instructions have been expanded and revised, new illustrations have been added, and an even greater emphasis has been placed on the importance of tying a rope halter that fits.

A chart lists measurements for six "standard" halter sizes, from foal to large horse. Guidelines for tying a custom-fit halter are also provided.

Information on how a halter should fit and how to measure a horse for a halter allow you to decide which approach—standard-size or custom-fit—will result in the best-fitting halter for your horse.

A very easy method for tying the Fiador Knot is included!
