Things You'll Need
- Old nylon halter
- 8-inch piece of thin or soft leather
- Leather punch or knife
Instructions
Cut a strip of leather the same width as the breakaway halter and about 8 inches long. This leather can be from an old purse or coat, anywhere as long as it is soft and thin.
Make a small hole in the center of the strip, 3 1/2 inches from one end. Double the leather strip so the hole is centered and feed the old buckle through that hole, with the shortest end up.
Make two more holes (spaced an inch below the first hole and half an inch apart). Lace a thin strip of leather through both holes and tie a simple square knot. Make a third hole about a half an inch below that.
Use a regular leather or nylon halter and buckle the crownpiece strap into the buckle. Insert the two strips of leather into the regular halter buckle. Now you have an insert for turning your horse out.
