    Quicksilver Show Halters??

    I was just wondering what exactly happened to Quicksilver show halters? I know they don't make halters anymore but why? Also, is there anywhere I can find them or halters similar to Quicksilver?? I love the colors and designs that they had on their halters and want something similar for my mare.
