Cynthia, I've seen one of those war bridles used, it's a lot better IMO than the chain ones. I can't remember exactly which book but I've seen it demonstrated in one of the farriery books as well. I'd certainly rather have the rope ran over the gums than try using one of the novell things. David

Re: Head Stall
it was not a rope used, but a chain over the gums, not only to apply pressure, but it was yanked...you can do damage to an animal this way
it is a temporay fix, the problem being, and whatever the reason, the horse may be dangerous I've seen them weasle their way out of a twitch on occasion the handler in these situations should be experianced in regards to unruley horses I too have a photo of this type of halter in an old shoeing book, I'll try and post it later it beats being injured, using this equipment, some of the farriers charge extra for unruley horses as well trust me David, I had more guts than brains when dealing with horses and their owners, some have not been so lucky as always Cynthia Jay ![]()

Re: Head Stall
you'll find a picture of the war bridle and instructions for use in Butlers "Principles of horseshoeing II" in the training chapter. it works really well once a guy figures outhow to use it. kind of a quick jerk as a punishment works for me, of course i use a varient of this halter tought to me by an old man that back in the 1940's was hired by the county sheriff to rid our county of all the wild horses. his only pay was what he could sell the cayuse's for.
anyway he tought me how to make what he called a "wild horse hackamore" it is similar to the "war bridle" described in butlers book.

Re: Head Stall
this is one example of a "war bridle"
I bought some kind of leather halter and lead, with a chain sold to me by an old horseman that ran a tack store, years back, haven't seen to many of those any more it applied pressure to the nose and poll it worked fairly well with unruley horses as always Cynthia Jay
