Members Tucker6591 Posted September 12, 2014 Members Report Posted September 12, 2014 Here are some picture of a new halter I just finished up... I used 4 & 8 strand round braids, a couple of turks heads, and spanish ring knots. Here you go, hope there not too big. Quote http://theparacordcowboy.blogspot.com

Members Tucker6591 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Members Report Posted September 15, 2014 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: Quote http://theparacordcowboy.blogspot.com

Members bucksnort Posted September 18, 2014 Members Report Posted September 18, 2014 Not a bad color, it will make it easier to find his horse in the dark. Buck Quote
Members Louisianawhipmaker Posted September 29, 2014 Members Report Posted September 29, 2014 Looks good have you ever had problems with the ring knots that go around the lead rope/bottom of the nose band slipping? Quote
Members Tucker6591 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Members Report Posted September 29, 2014 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.

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 Edited October 1, 2014 by Louisianawhipmaker Quote
