its Lisa with budget equestrian calm and today I'm going to show you how you can make your own grooming halter you may be wondering what's the difference between a grooming halter and a regular halter and the only difference is the grooming halter does not have the throat latch it has the piece that goes over the ears and then the piece that goes around their nose but it's just nice for grooming I was looking up grooming halters online because I've always wanted one so I thought it would be nice to have one and I started doing some searches for grooming halters and the cheapest one I could find was $40 and to me for you know a piece that's gonna go around their nose in their head that just seems like a lot of money so I was thinking maybe I could make my own grooming halter so that's what I did and now I'm going to show you how to do it so what you'll do is you need to get a cheap halter the cheaper ones are actually better because the nylon is it's only like single Pi so it's easier to cut through this halter I got on state line tack it was four dollars and 63 cents so that's a pretty good deal so 4 dollars and 63 cents for a halter that I can make a grooming halter versus 40 dollars for the cheapest grooming halter I'll take the 4 dollars and 63 set 1 so first thing you want to do is you want to have the halter just like it's gonna be on the horse and we don't need the tag so we'll cut off the tag don't need that so when you're doing this you don't want to cut anything like the one that's going to go over their ears or the one that's going to go around their nose so you're only going to cut the throat latch part out and then this part that attaches to that ring so again make sure you're cutting off the one that would go around their throat latch and these scissors aren't the greatest but hey that's pretty good and again I want to make sure I'm cutting off the appropriate piece so that one's done there's only one piece left to cut and that's the one that would be on the back of there you know like under their chin it's like this one's hard to cut and then the Flies are being freakin obnoxious I think any better scissors but that's it so I cut off the throat latch and the part that goes behind the chin and what I'm left with is basically a grooming halter and that's exactly what I wanted to have what I like about this one is it has the ring in the back so I can attach the lead rope to there and then I can still you know I can get everywhere that I need to when I'm brushing their face so that is how you make a grooming halter again I got the halter it's just a regular single play halter I got it at state line tact it was about five dollars a little bit less and now I have my own grooming halter so I hope you enjoyed that hopefully you can go make your own grooming halter thank you so much for watching see ya
