The Parelli Natural Hackamore is widely used for young horses and relaxed riding (Freestyle or on the trail). Made from the same, lovely subtle line as our halters, it’s perfect for teaching horses to be soft and confident when riding, starting or re-starting horses that are afraid of the rider’s hand or bit.
Here at Half Circle Ranch we pride ourselves on our halters. The fit, the construction of the rope, our fabulous colors. We are very proud of the halters we offer! Our halters are made from 1/4โณ polyester rope. Our soft halters are made from a double braid rope- think of your favorite โSavvyโ clinician, these are the halters he chooses. Theyโre light weight, but have lots of body and โfeelโ. Soft rope halters will have a stitched fiador knot, and the ends will be spliced together. Our stiff halters are made from a firm, 1/4โณ polyester accessory cord. It is a much firmer bodied rope than the soft cord- it will hold itโs shape all on itโs own, and this halter will stand up on a table by itself, where the soft will not. Great for getting a horses attention, great for training- and just all around easy to use. These will not be as stiff as your favorite Aussie clinicians halters- but theyโre in that vicinity.
This rope was designed especially for Half Circle Ranch. It is a 9/16โณ double braid polyester rope with a 24 carrier cover- this rope was built according to the cordage institutes standards for rope, and itโs size is the same as the rope used by CA and PP. This rope has great body and feel- itโs a lovely rope, and comes in a plethora of fabulous colors. This lead comes finished with an eye splice- you can hook it directly to your halter, or you have the option to use hardware. The tail end of the lead is backspliced, which weights it, giving it that desirable feel and balance.
Supple with a lot of life, yacht rope reins are a favorite of natural horsemanship trainers and students. These are 10 feet from end to end (including the brass scissor snaps). White with blue flecks. (Ok, dirty white at this point!).
These beautifully crafted leather neck reins are for the further refinement of communication between horse and human towards bridleless riding. Made of soft and flexible rolled leather, decorative buckles, and thin paracord, they offer a way to have the horse feel the lift of the rope before any pressure is applied.
