Abstract
An animal control halter includes rigid co-acting sides with protrusions positioned to exert inward pressure on the nose of an animal at its tear bone. The sides are connected through a resilient bridge on one end, and by a control line at the other. The control line is secured on one side, looped through the other side, and back through the first side, and extends therefrom. When tension is applied on the control line, the sides are pulled together, against the bias of the bridge, to apply pressure on the animal's nose and teir bone. Upon slackening the control line, pressure is removed by the bridge bias. Harness straps are used to secure the halter to the animal.
Claims8
An control halter for taming an animal through lateral pressure applied to a nose and teir bone of the animal, said control halter comprising:
- a first side piece having a nose engaging portion;
- a second side piece having a nose engaging portion;
- a resilient bridging member between said first side piece and said second side piece, said bridging member biasing said first side piece to a position away from said second side piece;
- a control line interconnecting said first side piece and said second side piece distal said bridging member;
- such that pull applied to said control line urges said second side piece towards said first side piece against said biasing of said bridging member.
