How to Put a Rope Halter On a Horse (Like a Professional) 

Hey guys, what videos do you want me to do in the future? Comment below!

Thanks! I'm a younger equestrian who is switching to western but I do still do English! Anyways, I don't know how to use a rope halter until this video! So this helped me so much! Im glad ppl help us beginner and younger equines:]

Stupid flies! Haha great video. I learned a lot

Good Video. When I looked at rope halters, I would see a messy bundle of rope. It took me a long time to work my halter in so that it fell into shape. I love the demonstration - Thanks

This came in handy for me today because, as a newbie to horsemanship/rope halters, I needed a reminder of how to tie it! Thank you!

I swear you upload your videos at the perfect time. Thanks i’m still learning a lot!

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Do you know how HARD it was for me to put a rope halter on my horse?! The poor thing was standing there for so long cause I was trying to figure out how to put it on lol! Ps btw your horses are so sweet! And so patient

Wrong. No break away halters. When a horse is tied to a secure object, you do not want them to be able to pull and get away. If they try and then are able to get away, they have learned that pulling is the right answer. That is a bad lesson. You do not want the horse to learn that. Teach them that pulling is the wrong answer.

Yah I was yelled at by a trainer cuz she was like how do you not know how to put the rope halter on!! I was like cuz I use leather haha

The correct way is to hold the long side of the halter over the top of his neck and then pull the halter up to and over his nose with it. A horse could hit you with his head or pull away while your flipping the long side over to tie it. If they won’t let you put the nose band on you have no control over what he can do. I watch people struggle getting their halters on daily while shoeing, with this method. Just a little change can save a wreck or creating a bad habit on a horse. Your horses are used to this. Everything else was great.

First time horse owner and I have so much to learn these videos are great!

Finally a good video on this!

Excellent demo! Watching from the mountains of Peru. Did you graduate from Harvard? What did they teach you about Jesus? Just curious. May God bless you.

Thank you, you've given me the confidence to put my mew rope halter on my horse tomorrow. I have only had her 6 months, we've been taking things slowly.But I need the rope halter to do more ground work. Excellent video x

I love your channel so much!💛

Do you train John Lyons technique? I recognize the style, I've trained since 1989 with Him.

Nice video. I hope you were joking when you said that put the other horse in time out for not cooperating with you. You knew she was hungry. The kind thing to do is to realize that they love routines and get hungry, usually at the same time daily. It is comprehensive to a human to be told to wait just a little, but not to an animal. I always feed my dogs before I feed anyone else because they can not get their own food or make it. That way, they are not hungry while you eat, making them feel bad for not having food as well. Anyways, I wish you the best in life and to your horses too.

I just got a rope halter cause I’m going to be training a horse, so I have no idea how to use it…and I happened to get the same one you have 😂

Please...avoid fingers and hands passing through your loops, if the horse were to spook/abruptly pull away there is potential to break a hand, lose or deglove fingers

Thank you, I'm so use to a normal halter.

You kinda look like Stephanie tanner from full house 😂

I can’t watch anymore she’s covered in flys 🫣

Can't stop staring at all the flies poor Pepper has on her face. 😅

the flies are brutal! I use a LOT of, fly traps, they make a huge difference!

First, THANK YOU for this step by step video--I so struggled with the rope halter! Carmella, where did you film this? The forest and birds are incredible there! It's magical!

Thanks this helps a lot I’m getting my first horse soon and she’s a American paint horse and she gets inpatient when it comes to putting halters on

Thanks for that 😊 I've just bought my first rope halter for my horse.. Im in the UK & ive not got any friends using one yet, but its only a matter of time i'm sure!! It seems I've got it all the correct way around so tomorrow i'll try it on her. Thank you for the easy to follow video x 👍 🙂 😄

I stumbled on your videos and I have really enjoyed them and I do not even own a horse ! LOL .. Great Job Kid :)

I hope that you make more videos

I love your halter. 🐎🐎

This was the first video I've seen of yours, learned a lot! I Liked and subscribed! ❤️

Sorry - the pros do not put a rope halter on in this manner. One should reach over the horse's neck with your right arm and bring the long side of the halter over "throwing" the long line over the neck allows the opportunity to hit the eye of the horse or the handler. A;so the advanage of a rope halter is that it halps teach the horse to NOT push into pressure - leather and nylon halters have wide bands that a horse can push into without consequence. when they push or pull in a rope halter, the thin rope makes it uncomfortable to pus into pressure thus teacing them the proper response.

I learned on rope halters. I don't use them very often, though.
