Horse Supplies | Choosing Rope For Your Halters & Tack

Halter Cord Rope vs. Yacht Braid Rope

There are two types of rope halters that horsemen tend to prefer. One style is the Firm, Stiff feeling Halter Cord rope and the other is the Softer, Yacht Braid style. Both serve the same purpose in being an effective aid in communication between you and your horse. You will find that most halters are made from 1/4″ diameter rope and either style is available in a variety of color choices! The firm Halter Cord style is used by Clinton Anderson fans while the softer Yacht Braid rope is preferred by Parelli fans. The yacht braid rope is also spliceable which makes it popular for Mecates, Reins, Lead Ropes and Training Lines. The Halter Cord rope is not spliceable.
