Seriously?

Why is it that NO tack shop in the Central Florida area sells breakaway halters? I found ONE place & they had ONE halter in stock. A pukey salmon pink one for a whopping $30. Seriously? Why is horse stuff always so obscenely expensive? This is a $2 piece of equipment we're talking about! How can they possibly mark it up like 1,500 percent? Ugh. It's re-gosh-darn-diculous if you ask me! That is all.

    Cut off the strap of any nylon halter and attach.

    I have a tweeked out TB who breaks a halter every-time we go some where. But I'd rather her break a halter than get hurt flipping over or something silly like that. Usually she pops the darn thing and then stands there like OMG oh crap.... it's gotten to be down right silly. I buy 10 at a time and that usually lasts us a year or so.

    They withstand the rainy weather hear too. My horses get turned out; halters hung on the fence where they get rained on (live in Seattle) all the time. Best solution we have found so far.

  2. WOW! Brilliant, thank you! I bought a junky one @ the one tack shop I found that carried them, not thinking it will last too long. Thank you SO much!!
