Training halter

A training halter encircling and conforming to a horse's head, comprising:

• a harness assembly encircling and conforming to the horse's head, neck and ears for applying direct pressure to regions of special acuity of the horse's head;
• a poll strap formed of a first strip of material, having first and second ends and folded over to form a first pocket extending the length of the poll strap;
• the poll strap formed with a first metal cable disposed within the pocket of the poll strap extending the length of the poll strap for exerting pressure on the nerves within the poll of the horse;
• a crown strap;
• first and second cheek straps extending downward from the crown strap along the sides of the horse's head;
• a jaw strap wrapped about and under the horse's neck;
• a nose band, a chin strap suspended from the nose band, and first and second securing straps suspended from the first and second cheek straps so as to encircle the horse's nose and chin;
• the nose band formed of a second strip of material having first and second ends and folded over to form a second pocket within the noseband extending the length of the nose band;
• a second metal cable disposed within the second pocket of the nose band and extending the length of the nose band;
• and
• third and fourth attachment rings attached to first and second ends, respectively, of the nose band;
• and
• whereby when a rope attached to one of the third and fourth attachment rings is pulled, the harness contracts so that the first metal cable in the poll strap exerts pressure on nerves within the poll of the horse and the second metal cable in the nose band simultaneously exerts pressure on nerves within the nose of the horse so that the pressure in the poll and nose of the horse immediately dissipates when the rope is released.
