Be Nice Halter

Marmite has proved to be a rogue and a bit of a handful at times. When it suited him he knew that nobody could match his strength if he chose to dash off on his own for some fresh grass or some other bit of mischief in the yard! This only happened when he was being lead on a head-collar (he is perfectly behaved in harness).

We were at our wits end how to control his exuberant bad manners until Sal, one of our volunteer helpers, suggested we should try a Be Nice Halter.

The Be Nice Halter is an excellent and humane training device imported from America. The design is patented and although there have been some imitations manufactured, nothing else is as effective.

The halter works on the simple principle that when the horse resists, pressure is automatically applied and when the animal begins to co-operate, the pressure is automatically released. Therefore, it is not just a restraint, but a very effective training device as well.

Since we introduced him to the Be Nice Halter we have had no trouble controlling Marmite whatsoever. At the first sign of an impulse by Marmite to shoot off, gentle but firm pressure on the lead rope reminds him of who’s in charge and he is unbelievably accepting and cooperative!!
