Hunters SaddleryRope Halters for Horses Compatible with Parelli Natural Horsemanship Training Mini Foal Weanling Pony Cob Full Draft Head-Collars

Strong, effective without the bulk of the cheaper ones, I’d recommend to buy this make first time.

I bought this headcollar for doing some in hand training with my youngsters - two high spirited sports horses. They weren't respecting a normal leather headcollar, and were doing aerial acrobatics when turning out and bringing in, and they would use their force and power to bolt at high speed away from me, which made me a bit unpopular on the yard. I bought this headcollar, with a plan to do some "manners training" with the two cute tearaways. Firstly, it's pretty easy to put on and luckily it fits both of them. Secondly, while they are still highly spirited during turnout, I find this helps to control it, they respect it more than a plain headcollar. So, the 3 year old still stands on two legs and air punches the sky with front hooves, and does some impressive, heated bronking, but now he doesn't bolt away (bear in mind I am attaching the headcollar to a long lunge line so I can keep a safe distance from the aerials). Today, for example, as I was walking him to turn him out, he decided to lay down and have a roll... I was able to yank him back up as he knelt down on his front knees, and made him get up again, which he wasn't too pleased about! Thirdly, the headcollar in itself does help, but you also need to have an understanding of ground work training - and need to teach them basics - and the headcollar does help in this. I would recommend this product.

Excellent, good quality

The ‘pony size’ was a Perfect fit on my yearling. She’s very strong-willed and if you know how to use these head collars properly then they work a treat! Has made such a difference!

Lovely rope collar. I already had a long rope but my ISH had outgrown a previous rope collar and I had him in a prosafe. I disliked it and he hated the chain on it so I got an extra full. Loads of room for anymore growing. Fits him nicely but also fits my smaller horses if I need to grab them quickly and only have the one collar to hand.

I bought this for stroppy yearling, I thought it was expensive - but this filly has alot of attitude and headcollars were not having desired effect (throwing her head around, pulling against me etc) When it arrived I was disappointed as the rope seems very thin, and it was the most expensive piece of (pink) rope I have ever bought! Having said that it is very effective.... In hindsight perhaps the rope is thin to exert more pressure when you need to give a tug. So yes it does seem expensive, but it does work, perfect for bolshy ponies.

The knot at the bottom came apart after first use. Badly made, poor quality product. Do not waste your money on it!

It took a few minutes to get my head round doing the knot up the right way round.... for the first time a knot was challenging (lol)We work with a natural horsemanship trainer for my 6 yr old mare and it didn't take long for her to respond positively when being worked in this. I probably shouldn't have picked white as I have a bay horse and it does get a bit dirty (haven't yet chucked it in the washing machine) but other picking a silly colour I'm very happy with this product. Very reasonable price too.
