A method of using the rope halter apparatus comprising: forming a first loop in a rope by placing a first end of the rope adjacent a first midpoint of the rope; placing the first end of the rope and the first midpoint of the rope between at least one set of bracket legs of a rope halter apparatus; placing a second end of the rope over an animal's neck; placing the first loop over the animal's nose; forming a second loop; placing the second loop through the ring and around the hook of the rope halter apparatus; and pulling the second end of the rope. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080295464 | HEAD GEAR FOR A HORSE - The present invention discloses a head gear for a horse. The head gear comprises a cap, two earpieces, a nosepiece and an attachment. The cap is shaped to conform to a top portion of a horse's head. Both earpieces are attached to the cap and are adapted to cover both horse's ears. The nosepiece is connected to the cap and extends away from the cap solely between the horse's eyes and partially over the horse's nose. The attachment is used to fix the lower extremity of the nosepiece so that in use the nosepiece stays in proximate relationship with the horse's nose, thereby preventing it from moving when the horse is in motion. The head gear is made of fabric and the nosepiece is adapted to carry an image such as a sponsor's name, logo, publicity or other design. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090320418 | HORSE HALTER WITH CHIN STRAP - A horse halter comprising a nose band, chin strap, hitching strap, jaw strap, throat strap, two cheek straps, and poll strap, wherein a lead rope is attached to the hitching strap, and wherein when the lead rope is pulled downward, the nose band and chin strap exert a clamping action on the horse's nose and mouth. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20110061348 | Horse Halter - A horse halter that allows the handler a more effective means for training and controlling a horse by incorporating a novel method of applying pressure to the horse's neck in addition to applying pressure to the nose and poll regions of the horse as shown in traditional halters. The improved halter accomplishes this by incorporating a neck band which is coupled to the nose and poll bands such that when tension is exerted on the neck band via a lead line, pressure is simultaneously applied to the neck and nose regions of the horse and the head is pulled toward the horse's chest while pressure is released at the poll. After a horse has been conditioned using the neck band feature, the lead line may be disconnected from attachment to the neck band and secured solely to the nose and poll bands to function as a traditional halter. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110252751 | HORSE HALTER APPARATUS - A horse halter apparatus includes top nose portion with a curved rigid nose bar, a separate left chin portion with a first rigid chin bar, and a separate right chin portion with a second rigid chin bar. Soft, pliable covers enclose each rigid bar and hide the bars from view while protecting the horse's face from scratches or marks. A user holding a leash may apply pressure, via the rigid bars, in three different directions: downward, left and right. Each of the nose portion and chin portions may be adjustable in length. The rigid bars may be removable from the covers. The rigid bars may come in different configurations with varying profiles such as circular or rectangular, and may be formed with protuberances directed towards the horse's face. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20120110961 | Head Harness for a Horse - A head harness for a horse includes a browband linked, at the ends thereof, to two headpieces, each of which has, symmetrically on either side of the harness, two attachments arranged side by side, and in that, on the front headpiece, the cheek strap of the bit and one end of the throat latch are attached to the first attachment and to the second attachment, respectively, and in that, on the rear headpiece, the nosebeand cheep strap and one end of an auxiliary cheek strap and one end of an auxiliary cheep strap are attached to the first attachment and to the second attachment, respectively, the other end of said auxiliary cheek strap being attached onto the noseband cheek strap located on the other side of the harness, and in that the second attachment of the front headpiece that receives the throat latch and the second attachment of the rear headpiece that receives the auxiliary cheek strap are rigidly connected by a link. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20120311976 | HORSE TRAINING HALTER - The horse halter includes a noseband and chin strap each connected at both their ends. A poll strap and throat strap are each connected at both their ends. A pair of cheek straps are each connected at one end to the noseband and chin strap and are connected at the other end to the poll strap and throat strap. A jaw strap is connected between a middle of the chin strap and a middle of the throat strap. The chin strap and poll strap each include a resiliently elastic material. The noseband, the pair of cheek straps, jaw strap and throat strap each include a substantially non-resiliently elastic material. The poll strap may include an adjustment means or a buckle for changing the length of the poll strap. | 12-13-2012 |
| 20130160409 | ANIMAL HALTER - The animal halter comprises a nose band sized to encircle the nose of the animal. The band has a top that aligns with the bridge of the nose of the animal, a bottom under the chin of the animal, and a left and right side. The nose band has one or more pressure protrusions. A crown-throat loop has one or more pressure protrusions and an optional brow band. The brow band may also have one or more pressure protrusions. The crown-throat loop has a top that aligns with the poll of the head of the animal, a bottom and a left and right side. A right cheek strap and a left cheek strap connect the sides of the nose band and the crown-throat loop. A chin-throat connecting piece connects the bottoms of the nose band and the crown-throat loop. | 06-27-2013 |
| 20150068167 | HORSE HALTER - A horse halter has a combination of straps and ropes configured to provide comfort for the horse and control to the trainer. Halter includes a poll strap extending over the poll of the horse, a pair of cheek straps extending along the cheeks of the horse, a nose rope having knots extending over the bridge of the horses nose, a chin rope extending below the horse's chin, a throat rope and a snap member coupled together extending below the horse's throat, and a lower jaw rope extending forwardly from the throat rope having a slide ring fixed attached at a front end for slidably receiving the chin rope. | 03-12-2015 |
| 20150375987 | LARGE ANIMAL HEADGEAR INSTRUCTIONAL APPARATUS AND METHOD - An instructional apparatus and method for properly placing headgear on a horse or other large animal, including a headgear assembly such as a halter or bridle, wherein the headgear assembly further includes multiple interconnected structural components; and a plurality of individual color-coded sleeves releasably mounted on certain of the independent interconnected components, wherein the color of each of the color-coded member corresponds both to a predetermined location on the head of the animal and to a particular step in a predetermined method for placing the headgear assembly on the head of the animal. | 12-31-2015 |

| 20100071321 | HORSE HALTER - A halter having a continuous headstall strap that fits over the poll of the horse's head and includes a lead attachment ring at the bottom of the headstall strap. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20140215979 | INSTANT CONTROL SYSTEM USING A FIXED STUD LATCHING SYSTEM - A latching system is operable to prevent inadvertent total release of two straps secured by the latching system as the two straps are being latched together. The latching system includes a buckle affixed to an end of a first strap and a plurality of fixed studs affixed to a second strap to be secured to the first strap. The plurality of fixed studs successively latch with the buckle as the second strap is pulled through a first section of the buckle. One of the fixed studs will catch in the buckle even if the first strap is pulled away from the second strap before latching is completed. Latching is completed by passing the second strap through a second portion of the buckle. In one embodiment, when latching is complete, two fixed studs engage the buckle to secure the second strap to the first strap. | 08-07-2014 |
| 20140360142 | ADJUSTABLE HALTER - Animal control apparatuses are disclosed that allow for easy replacement of the releasable closure. In some cases the releasable closure includes a tri-fold design wherein elongated members with hook and loop fasteners fold over each other. | 12-11-2014 |
