This traditional word-of-mouth knowledge has been carefully captured and presented in Halter-Tying Success, Second Edition. The step-by-step instructions in this update-edition 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, horsemen’s knot. Measurements for six "standard" halter sizes, from foal to large horse are offered. Guidelines for tying a custom-fit halter are also provided. A unit on measuring a horse allows readers to decide which approach, standard-size or custom-fit, will result in the best-fitting halters for their horses. (It's perfect for ponies and mules, too.)
