Lowball72 Report post Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) Can anyone tell me if there’s a difference between a regular horse halter and a Bronc halter other than the nose band? I have one to make and I’ve got horse halter patterns wich I could change the nose band design of.if there’s a difference how so,and would anyone have a pattern I could use?

Northmount Report post Posted December 11, 2019 @Lowball72 Moved your post to Saddle and Tack Accessory Items. I think you may get more response from this forum since you are dealing with Tack. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigSiouxSaddlery Report post Posted December 13, 2019 I've never made one and don't have measurements, but they're going to be a lot heavier, wider, and larger than a standard horse halter. Bucking stock usually have much larger heads, due to some draft influence in their breeding. I think the crown often has a double tongue buckle with no keeper, and the crown strap is extra long to allow for a wide variety of head sizes, as well as having a good "tail" to get ahold of when putting the halter on and taking it off the horses. I'll look around and see if I can find measurements anywhere. I'm wondering if John Hopper's old book might have specs, now that I think about it.

rktaylor Report post Posted December 13, 2019 The John Hopper book has a lot of tack/accessory items and Big Sioux is correct regarding the bronc halter. I like the book, but it certainly isn't my "go to" book on very many things. A lot of the items lack detailed instructions and the bronc halter in the book is no exception. The vague description might be fine for someone with experience, but leave a lot to be desired for a novice. Big Sioux's advice on heavier, wider, and larger is consistent with Hopper's book. His dimensions were based on a large horse halter. Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
