HALTER— PULLERS ARE OFTEN MADE WHEN FIRST 

 HALTERED, 



The first few times tying it up, use the rope around its body just 

 the same, only, after passing the rope through the ring or tie-hole in the 

 manger and tying it to the manger, carry back to the ring or jaw strap 

 of the halter and tie there, leaving only about two feet of double rope 

 from the head to the manger. This hitch prevents the colt pulling back 

 on the halter (as the halter strap is not tied at all) swinging the head and 

 throwing itself. Many of our halter-pullers are made by their breaking 

 loose the first few times being tied up. The same method just given 

 (except a stronger rope) is the right treatment for the halter puller. See 

 Chapter XXHL
