ROPE HALTER – $15.00
Traditional halters are heavy, with wide straps that are easy for your horse to brace and pull against. Most natural horsemanship practitioners prefer light, soft rope halters. Horses love the feel, but don’t like to lean against them.
Rope halters are available in Weanling/Pony, Cob, and Draft/Warmblood sizes.
LEAD ROPE – $25.00
Most normal lead ropes are 8 ft. long, which is too short for safely handling an upset horse. A 12 ft. lead rope allows more “drift” when a horse is frightened or misbehaving, and lets you have more flexibility when training.
TRAINING STICK – $25.00
Sometimes it’s useful to have a non-threatening extension of your arm when the horse is too far away to touch. Traditional whips cause a nasty stinging pain, but this 4 ft. fiberglass stick can be used to administer a soft stroke or to defend your space from a disrespectful horse. It has a leather loop on one end for adding a 6 ft. string or even a plastic bag or piece of cloth for sacking out.
6 FT. STRING – $10
A 6 ft. string loops around the end of your training stick, extending your reach by a full 10 ft. for lunging or driving. You can use it as a neck loop while riding, as a replacement rein if one breaks on a trail ride… or even tie your dog with it while you are playing with your horse!
BEGINNER’S KIT – $65.00
Save $10 by buying the rope halter, lead line, training stick and 6 ft. string as a kit!
