PLAITED ROPE HALTERS

Made from the same high quality cotton rope that we use in our traditional halters this range has been developed for that slightly more (unusual ) style. All these halters are hand plaited and can be made to your individual requirements.

Both the halters with a plaited nose and the fully plaited halter can be made either adjustable or with the traditional fixed nose front. When ordering please speci fy the breed and age of the horse if a fixed nose is required, or alternatively supply a measurement for the nose front.

By using different weights of rope and varying numbers of strands di fferent effects can be achieved. The heavier the rope the chunkier the plait
