Thanks yall, I'm really starting to get the hang of making these halters. Here is another pic of the next one that I've started. The color looks pretty wierd, but its what my brother wanted so...

I formed a loop with a 4 strand round braid and then finished to next 8 feet with an 8 strand round braid. I finished it off by using a 4 strand diamond stopper knot (not pictured) and then doubled it with the other 4 remaining strands,

The picture is a little rough due to the light, but anyway here it is:

Not a bad color, it will make it easier to find his horse in the dark. Buck

Louisiana, I tie those ring knots pretty tight, so you can pull on the two ropes as hard as you can and neither will budge.

Although, this dam horse set back on the halter the other day and it busted the loop on the lead rope part, and also slipped through the ring knots. So its strong, but not stronger than a horse. :thumbsup:

Wow I'm surprised he busted the loop, Para cord is some pretty tuff stuff. I build some similar halters and have had good luck with them lasting a long time
