Tough, hard wearing, value for money halter which is made of pliable but extremely strong nylon. Suitable for washing as it will not tighten on the animal's nose when wet. The rope softens after the first few uses which will allow the user to grip the rope easily when training animals. They have long shanks, the 16mm halter is made 18'' longer than normal for easier tying up of animals. Calf halters are made with shorter nosebands.
