ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses a control halter to be used beneath a bridle to develop and maintain correct head set in a riding or performance horse. The control halter is connected to a tie-down which is in turn connected to a breast collar or the cinch of the saddle. The control halter includes a loose fitting nosepiece for being disposed high on the nose of the horse, and a keeper strap encircles the head and neck of the horse. Two connecting pieces extend from the top of the nosepiece to the top of the keeper strap, passing closely by the inside of each ear of the horse. The tie-down is attached to a loop on the nosepiece. When the horse attempts to raise its head, the martingale pulls on the control halter and the same amount of pressure is applied over the ears as is applied high on the nose. The halter is dimensioned so that lateral control of the horse is not hampered by the halter while proper head set is maintained.
