Making a rope halter for a horse—by tying a few well-placed knots in a single length of rope—is an age-old skill historically passed directly from one horseman to the next. This traditional word-of-mouth, halter-tying knowledge has been carefully captured and presented in Halter-Tying Success.

In this second edition of the book, the step-by-step directions have been expanded and revised, new illustrations have been added, and a hitch for safely tying a horse has been included.

The unit on tying the challenging Fiador (FEE-ah-dohr) knot offers an easy approach to mastering this attractive, yet often frustrating, horseman's knot.

A chart lists measurements for six "standard" halter sizes, from foal to large horse. Guidelines for tying a custom-fit halter are also provided.

Unsure of your horse's halter size? A unit on measuring a horse for a halter allows you to decide which approach—standard-size or custom-fit—will result in the best-fitting halter for your horse.

Either way, Halter-Tying Success ensures you'll enjoy the halter-tying journey—and your horse will benefit from a halter that fits!
