Hi all,
When my mare used to compete in endurance while on loan, she was ridden in a bitted bridle with a rope halter bridle underneath so that she was mostly ridden off the halter but the bridle was there in case needed. I have a friend who would like to do the same, having seen other horses on endurance rides with these rope bridles underneath - does anyone know where she can get one or offer any advice on these?
Thanks! |

A company called Lodge Ropes does an endurance rope halter. They appear to have a good reputation with those who use these regularly. |

I used only the Parelli type halter when I rode Rimmy at rides. You used to be able to send for them by post. |

Here in Aus the uninitiated (lol) can get those from the saddleries, I myself make a version used by an old horse handler called trevor bonny,
Just a quick note if purchasing a rope headstall, be sure to Boil the knots before use, as many are sold without this treatment it will stop most knot slippage, I have seen some incorrectly made headstalls come almost undone while still on the horses head,

I sometimes use a Parelli rope halter underneath
the bridle. They should be used with great care.
Please PM me if you want the link. |
