My husband only uses the DD horse halters, so when he decided to buy a draft horse and needed a bigger halter, I ordered two from NRS. He was introduced to the rope halters many years ago when he was working with young quarter horses and going to clinics. One of those clinicians has been a friend for decades, and he recommends the DD halters and Brannaman lead popper. My husband has always been very happy with them. He has depended on them with young horses, stallions, and now the bigger draft horses. They are strong and stay put, but easy to tie on and get off the horse.
