D.A.L.E. WESTERN
THE ‘BE NICE’ HALTER
The
Be Nice Halter is an excellent
and humane training device imported from America: The design is patented and
though there have been imitations manufactured, nothing else is so effective.
When
you are handling your horse, you are always in a training situation. If you do
your everyday handling with the Be Nice Halter you are in better control
at all times. You can correct and discipline in an instant, so that your animal
will never develop any bad habits.
The
halter works on the simple principle that when the horse resists, pressure is
automatically applied and when the animal begins to co-operate, the pressure is
automatically released. Therefore it is not just a restraint but a very
effective training device as well.
Constructed
from a braid on braid nylon/dacron rope, the rings and side buckle are of cast
bronze. The slide is of high-tensile moulded nylon. We have great confidence in
the materials and workmanship of the Be Nice Halter. We guarantee our
halter to be free of material defects and workmanship, but needless to say, we
cannot guarantee that it will not break. We do, however, guarantee that if it
does, we will replace it.
Please
note the Be Nice Halter is intended solely as a training aid and should NEVER
be left on an unattended horse, whether turned out or tied up. No
responsibility can be taken for misuse.
FITTING THE BE NICE HALTER
In order for the halter to work effectively, the noseband should fall an inch and a half below the cheekbone of the horse.
To determine the correct
size, find the distance between the two points where the cheek knots will fall.
Measure the horse from the bottom of the cheek bone over the poll top the
bottom of the opposite cheek bone, then add three inches. The
measurement, increasing in 2 inch increments will correspond to sizes as
follows:

Please DO NOT untie the knots. Some adjustment
can be obtained by moving the plastic slide up or down slightly. If the halter
does not fit, return it for replacement in the correct size. The halter should
not be so tight that it applies pressure all the time.
For loading, leading,
lunging, training, but not leaving a horse unattended either tied up
