Soft-Touch Leather Halter Bridle: This unique halter bridle is truly a rider’s must have. It is adjustable on both sides of the cheek piece, on the noseband, throatlatch and on both sets of bit keepers. Perfect for trail riding as the halter can be used to tie a horse anywhere. For the English rider, the halter can be adjusted to become the perfect cavesson. Each 5/8-inch strap is comprised of three different materials, yet the end product is lighter, stronger and requires less care than an all-leather headstall. A thin tube of 3.4oz garment (which is very durable, soft and supple against the horse) is folded over nylon webbing and is then sewn onto top grain English bridle leather. This leaves the garment leather’s smooth rolled edges against the horse’s face. This sharp looking headgear has all stainless steel hardware. It comes with two types of bit keepers, so the headstall does not have to be disassembled to accommodate a different bit. Select the one piece bit hanger which allows you to bit over the ears from one side with one hand easily or the clip on hangers. Comes in large, medium and small sizes. State leather color. This is the best for trail riding and training because you have it all in one. HVF-Exclusive. Item # H-HB - Price $125.00
Select between two different style bit hangers: The one piece strap or pair of keepers. (with the one piece hanger, a different style brow band is made)
Shown above: As a trainer, I use many different bits depending upon the
horse, their mouth, and the head set I wish to achieve. I start with a
hackmore followed by a training bit and then move to a finishing bit. I
even take bits out on the trail to test. Having a bits on bit keepers
makes selecting fast and easy, there is less down time changing out tack
when quick adjustments are necessary
Training "side pull" Halter Bridle:
This
unique halter bridle is a trainer’s dream. The halter can be adjusted as
the perfect cavesson and also be used to tie a horse. During Trail and
Field Training clip a lead rope to the halter and loop it back to the
saddle. This way, in the event of that "fright and flight " instinct,
the horse’s head can be pulled around (coupling) without pulling on his
delicate mouth. The halter has stainless steel side rings that can be
used) as "side pulls" to teach a horse or mule to yield and move in
response to direct reining (a bitless bridle) and great for a training
bit or hackamore. The headstall comes with two sets of bit keepers or
instead of the two pairs of
bit keepers, choose the easy one piece bit hanger which allows you
to bit over the ears from one side with one hand easily. The easy
hanger can be secured to the halter bridle by running it through the
cheek dee or kept loose over the head stall.
By using
the side pulls and the bit keepers together, you can ride with double
reins keeping your horse’s mouth soft, while teaching him with the side
pulls. This bridle is made just like the Soft Touch Halter bridle, soft
and strong.
