The Halter Sold! Final Update.

Freedomnchrist · 08-30-2008, 07:16 PM

Went to the thrift store and picked this up.

What is it...and what is with the ribbons?

Horses&Soccer · 08-30-2008, 07:32 PM

Is it metal inside the fleece? And is that metal curved or straight? I have absolutely no idea, I flunk this test

Carri · 08-30-2008, 07:35 PM

It looks like something a Saddlebred would wear, with those ribbons! A bridle of some sort?

Western Cowgirl · 08-30-2008, 07:37 PM

it looks like a headstall

AngelPA · 08-30-2008, 07:38 PM

Looks like some sort of hackamore,

but I'm not sure where the heck you'd put the riens. You crack me up posting this,

I can just imagine you walking around the store, looking and studing this, asking the clerk, buying it anyways, taking it home and postioning it just right to get a good pix of it so you could post it on here to find out what it is.

I wanna know too now what the heck it is. Watch it be some kind of ... who knows, toy for people who like whips and chains?!?!

Horselessnomore · 08-30-2008, 07:38 PM

The ribbons are woven on to a plain leather or vinyl browband for decoration. It looks like they added rosettes and long ribbons at the sides for decoration as well.
Is it metal under the fleece? Since it doesn't look like there is anywhere to attach reins, I would say it is some sort of halter but if not

Horses&Soccer · 08-30-2008, 07:42 PM

I was thinking some kind of halter too, but the way that fleece thingie is and the buckle is on top of the noseband??

Akita it Girl · 08-30-2008, 07:45 PM

It is some sort of head piece.....what it is for, I have no Idea, but I would say it for saddlebreds from all the ribbons, but I don't know.

Touche · 08-30-2008, 07:51 PM

I am thinking draft horses.

I have seen Percherons shown in halters like those, but it looks like something is missing.

Thunderz Gurlz · 08-30-2008, 07:59 PM

I looks like a umm.. egh whats that called like a lounging type halter I cant think of the name for them...

rivervu2 · 08-30-2008, 08:10 PM

I bet it's some type of stud halter for show. The stud chain attaches to the right side, runs through the ring and down through the left side. Hope you didn't pay much for it as it's pretty fugly.

It has a curved piece in the middle with hindged sides.

Horses&Soccer · 08-30-2008, 09:07 PM

Well, that makes it sound like some kind of hackamore, but then it looks upside down for that. I guess the head stall and stud chain idea sounds quite likely for some kind of showing purpose??

scrapchick · 08-30-2008, 09:08 PM

You're so funny. You don't know what it is, but you bought it anyway, just to challenge and entertain your ht pals.... you crack me up.....

The ribbon is wrapped around the browband...but the rosettes are attached! Not added on.

Oh yes....only paid 7 bucks for it! Hubby said it is the ugliest thing he had ever seen!

Well...now that I think about it...it was attached wrong when I first got it....top half was backwards.

Yup...I got it just to come home and ask you all what it is! Don't tell hubby though!

Freedomnchrist · 08-30-2008, 09:12 PM

I must add that I shamelessly put it on Sugar ....and her head hung down in embarrassment....I laughed so hard...I almost peed my pants!

Horses&Soccer · 08-30-2008, 09:14 PM

Maybe somebody bought it, then put it together all wrong and didn't know what to do with it after that so threw it into the resell box.

chukker4 · 08-30-2008, 09:15 PM

It looks like someone made it themself out of a couple of belts from the 80s!
