Susanne, thats exactly what i was thinking. A small size choke chain. Its durable light weight. I groom dogs and cats, so i figured they would work perfect. And the "U" style scares me. Looks like it would just pop off at one head toss.
No i would leave the grass. It will work well to help the seeds germinate and protect them from critters..such as birds. Also when it rains it will help keep the seeds in place and not let them go with the run off water. others might have different opinions, but it all depends on where you live.
one of my girls does the same thing amysue. I thought she was just a weirdo. Good to know she isnt the only one who thinks shes a cat lol. Although my chickens learned quick not to go under the fence.
Paintponylvr very nice halters. I can see why you would never regret having them made, especially the stallions. Very nice, perfect mix. It catches the eye but does not distract from the form of the horse, and does not cover the whole profile.

That would be wonderful Anysue!!!!! Pictures would help me get more of an idea of the types of materials that i need. A friend said that i could use rolled leather. I dont entirely understand how the beads will work. But i did make some progress on the nose band. My dad said i should try metal...
Thank you for the information. I will try to look for videos. One of the reasons that i want to make my own is cost. It will be a lot less money to create one, then to buy someones "handmade" one. Amysue that makes complete sense thank you
So i decided that since most show halters are a bit costly, that i am going to try and make my own......
There are a few questions that i have.
1. has anyone tried this before?
2. were did you buy materials?
3. what are the materials?
4. how do they do the bead work ect?
5. what am i...
my girls are very protective over me. If someone wants to stand by me or get pet, they usually have to fight off my littlest mare. She will spin in tight circles around me to keep me away from the other girls. Then expects me to pet her lol.
