How can I prevent my horse from fleeing when I remove the halter?

Put an End to Halter Problems

One key component of your horse supplies collection is a halter. Depending on the horse, however, removing a halter while turning a horse out can be difficult. Some horses will tear away as soon as the halter is taken off. Here's a tip to alleviate this problem.

Put two halters on the horse (one on top of one another) when turning the horse out. Put a chain shank over her nose on the bottom halter. When you unbuckle the top halter, the horse will hit the chain shank if he tries to bolt, when he realizes that he's not really free he will be shocked. Then, he should stand still while you remove the second halter. The next time you go to remove the halter it's likely that the horse will think twice before trying to run away.
