Learn the correct way to tie a rope halter.
The rope halter is a valuable tool, but it needs to be used correctly. A poorly tied rope halter can put your horse in danger, so it's worth your time to learn how to properly use it and keep your horse safe.
In AQHA's FREE How to Tie a Rope Halter report, expert tack maker Dennis Moreland explains in simple terms how to tie a rope halter.
“I prefer to use rope halters on my horses. I have to admit, I've been too embarrassed to tell anyone I didn't know how to properly tie them and I would not ask for help. This article, with numbered steps and matching photos, made it so simple to understand and follow. Now I can tie them properly every time. Proper tying is safer for me and my horse and gives me more overall self-confidence working with my horses.”

The knot dennis ties is correct but it will pull tight. I prefer to have both ends of the poll rope seperate then put one end under both strands and one end under one strand. They are laced so to speak. If a horse pulls back it is always easy to untie. I have used it for years and not one problem.
