  | Making Your Own Rope Halters? Does anyone have easy-to-understand instructions on how to make your own rope halter? Preferably one you have used/tested yourself and know works well. I would love to learn how to do it and it would be rather fun to have your horse wearing something you made yourself.

| Haha, we tried to make rope halters one year at camp, it was soooo confusing! What I would do is get the rope and instructions and just get a group of horsey friends together and probably you can figure it out together, and its easier to do with more than one person. Sorry I can't help more. |

| Full Member  | The hardest part is the knot at the base... jees what is it called ... Fiorre? It's so complicated that I just gave up and tied a regular knot for the lead to clip onto. Make sure you use a good rope that's thick enough - I made a foal halter with some parachute cord but never found any rope for sale locally that I would make a horse-size halter out of. Either it was too thin or too weak - I don't see 300 or even 700# test to be strong enough for a full size horse! |

| Does anyone know where to get some suitable rope for making halters? I have found a few on equine tack sites, but it seems pretty pricey.

| Senior Member+ |    this rope would be perfect for halters I got it from a tool supply but you could probably pick it up at lowes or homodepot

| I made my own halter for Riley. It was really easy after you know how to do the knots. It came out really great, and the rope only cost me $1.99
