MINI-DONK™ & MINI-HOSS™

 Rope Halters $13.00 each

Perfect for devotees of Natural Horsemanship training.  Flat web halters are designed to hold when pressure is applied. 

The MINI-DONK™ and MINI-HOSS™ halter is designed to use the natural pressure points on the animal's head to teach yielding to pressure. 

Hand tied with professional overhand and fiador knots and made with braided poly marine rope that is resistant to sweat and the elements.

I prefer using a smaller diameter rope as compared to the traditional 1/4" as it creates a smaller, less bulky halter.  It also conforms better to the head and works better on the pressure points. 

Sizing notes:

MED is a 17" nose with minimum of 23"+ crown.

LARGE is 19" nose with  minimum of 24" + crown.

For a more accurate fit. you may send the measurements of the nose (where the halter sits) and around to poll (under chin and around ears). If the head is longer or shorter than normal a cheek measurement would be helpful too.

Please Note: These halters are not the 1/4" used for big horses. They are 3/16" and the rope was selected smaller to fit the smaller heads and to increase the pressure for use in training. The 1/4" rope provides 1/2" when doubled (nose/poll) and that makes it too uncomfortable on such a small head which encourages pulling back. The smaller rope provides more pressure at the selected points which encourages yielding to that pressure.

The MINI-DONK™  and MINI-HOSS™ halter is the perfect halter for teaching foals to lead, manners to stallions, as well as, lightness and response in preparation for harness driving.  Makes a great sales halter too! Assorted colors.
