Location: Idaho | Who makes the best rope halters? I have been using these http://www.nrsworld.com/wigwam-halter-company/wigwam-deluxe-tied-ha... but my last two have broke in the same place on two different horses just spooking and pulling back at the trailer. What's your favorite? |

Location: Arkansas | I make my own and just love them!! I found a video on Youtube on how to tie them, and went from there... I use my boyfriends old ropes to make the lead rope... They are super strong and you can make them as big as you want and in what ever colors you like. |

Location: That part of Texas | I'm not sure on what the actual brand is but www.coolhorse.com has a sale on rope halters every now and then that they put them on for $8 a piece and I usually will buy 3-4 of them when that happens. They have held up just as well or better than some of the more expensive rope halters that I have purchased. |

Location: TN | Half Circle Ranch! http://www.halfcircleranch.com/store/pc/Halters-c2.htm They are awesome quality rope (the same as Clinton Anderson and Pat Parelli only less expensive) and she can make them in any color you want. We have 3 of her rope halters and leads and LOVE them. I will definitely buy more in the future. |

Location: Kansas | I really like the classic equine rope halters with the braided nose, and they aren't expensive either.
I've since switched to leather halters |

Location: BETWEEN HOT FLASHES AND GERITOL | I like the Clinton Anderson Halters. They are high but I have used the same one for 5 yrs now. The Knots on the nose really help a horse not to pull against it. |

| clinton anderson are the best, the smaller diameter rope and the extra nose knots discourage pulling back and snotty behaviour. With a pull back problem, you should address that issue. even if you get an unbreakable halter, something is going to give which might be your hardware on your trailer :/. I suggest his halter,lead and the long 22 ft lead as well, and the blocker tie ring, then you can help retrain that horse to stand there and not pull back as much. mule tape halters are pretty much unbreakable, but they are soft with no knots to discourage pulling. hope that helps. |

| Yes! The ones with the knots on the nosepiece are great. They also have a long lead that can come in handy. Not sure on the price though.

Location: Louisiana | Honestly the best rope halter I've bought was a cheap Mustang brand. I know it was under $20. It has knots on the nose similar to a Clinton. T-Bo has tested it a few times and quickly learned he can't break it like a regular nylon halter and lead. With a normal halter, he would pull back until it broke. With this one IF he pulls back (nowadays it's because something legitimately spooked him) he will give up quickly and think about it before deciding it's easier to stand quietly. LOVE IT! |

| CLINTON ANDERSON HALTERS ...
Best materials, best design that keeps the side straps out of their eyes, will not stretch and end up in their mouth, firmness is perfect and old Clinton used his and others experience to make this high quality last a lifetime halter at the risk of his own reputation by putting his name on it .... I paid around $25 each on their black Friday specials they had ... money well spent ... the 15 ft lead is also the best thing since sliced bread ...

Location: North Dakota | I ONLY use Clinton Anderson halters/leads. They are a bit pricey BUT if you look at his website he does offer nice discounts often! I have had one halter/lead since 2008 and still use it every day so you definitely get your money worth! It's a great investment and it has taught my pushy gelding LOADS of respect!! I will never use a different kind of halter! I am 100% sold on these! |

| I'm another vote for halfcircleranch.com. I've got some friends at the barn who have parelli halters and it honestly doesn't look any different to me in rope quality. And you can get the extra knots added. I love mine and will always get mine there. |
