Book excerpt: Making a halter for a horse, by tying a few well-placed knots in a single length of rope, is an age-old skill historically passed directly from one horseman to the next. This traditional word-of-mouth knowledge has been carefully captured and presented in Halter-Tying Success, Second Edition, a book on how to tie correct-fitting rope halters for horses. This edition presents the halter-tying process, which includes the Fiador Knot, in a simple, easy-to-follow format. The step-by-step directions have been expanded and revised, new illustrations have been added, and a hitch for safely tying a horse has been included. A chart lists measurements for six "standard" halter sizes, from foal to large horse. Guidelines for tying a custom-fit halter are also provided. A unit on measuring a horse allows readers to decide which approach, standard-size or custom-fit, will result in the best-fitting halters for their horses. (It's perfect for ponies and mules, too.)
