    These are great for any age horse. We use them on our own horses. Two we started them out in one, and the other we switched from a bit to the haltermore.

     They all work well in these. The key is to teach your horse to give to lateral pressure and the 'e brake'. I start by teaching this on the ground in a rope halter and yacht braid lead. I stand on one side, facing the horses' body. I put pressure on the rope. Most horses will move their body away. Keep walking with them, keeping the pressure on the lead. When their feet stop, and they tip their nose to you, let go of the lead pressure.

     Keep doing this until your horse is very light on both sides, and nearly touching his shoulder with his nose. Since the haltermores' reins are attached the same place a lead rope would be, most horses will also give well in the saddle.

     To teach the 'e brake', you use the same technique. When you're in the saddle, ask your horse to move out a few strides. Then take the slack out of one rein. Your horse should disengage his hind quarters, give to the pressure, and stop moving his feet. Once he's stopped moving his feet, let the rein go.

     A common misconception with these, is that you'll have no control if your horse bucks, bolts, ect. If you've taught your horse the ' e brake', he'll be a piece of cake to 'control.' I ride in parades, practice with local drill team, and ride high mountain trails- all on a horse, who's very responsive in his haltermore.
