  1. Steve,

     

    Here's one that I made.  Sorry, not a great picture.  On mine, I had buckles on each side, shown just under this heifer's right ear.  The buckles are connected to the side pieces.  The strap over the top of the head just has the tips on each end and holes for the buckle tang.

    The side pieces attach to the stainless steel rings on each side of the mouth.  A lead chain goes through the ring on the far side and snaps onto the ring on the visible side.  The nose band also connects to the rings on each side and there is a little 90 degree "L" shaped piece that is sewn in at the ring.  That piece keeps the nose band at 90 degrees to the side pieces.  I've include a rough sketch.  The "L" shaped piece fits right up against the ring and is about 3/4" wide.  

    I have pictures of the original halter that I patterned this one after.  I refurbished the original and then had to get it back to the owner while I built the new one, so I just went off of my pictures.

    Let me know if you'd like those.

      Rex,

      That would be great.  Nice job on the halter.  I want to make something similar.

      I combine the jpeg files into a single PDF.  It's a little to large to post here.

      Let me know if you have any problems downloading or have any questions.  Be glad to help.

      Thanks for the positive comment on my version.  It was fun.

      Rex,

      Thank you for sharing.  I appreciate your offer to help with questions.  You did a great job documenting the original halter.
