Abstract

A horse halter that allows the handler a more effective means for training and controlling a horse by incorporating a novel method of applying pressure to the horse's neck in addition to applying pressure to the nose and poll regions of the horse as shown in traditional halters. The improved halter accomplishes this by incorporating a neck band which is coupled to the nose and poll bands such that when tension is exerted on the neck band via a lead line, pressure is simultaneously applied to the neck and nose regions of the horse and the head is pulled toward the horse's chest while pressure is released at the poll. After a horse has been conditioned using the neck band feature, the lead line may be disconnected from attachment to the neck band and secured solely to the nose and poll bands to function as a traditional halter.
