Halter #3

Last summer, I finally retired Izzy's hand-me-down Tekna halter; Speedy still has his. I bought a beautiful, black Schockemohle halter which Izzy promptly broke two weeks later. I was very disappointed. 

Fortunately, a few weeks later, I won a new leather halter at a clinic. That halter has served us well - it was free, and it fit. 

Sadly, I just noticed that the leather has began to wear thin and is now torn. I don't think Izzy did anything to it, although I can't rule that out. I think that it was just an inexpensive halter.

I needed a new halter. I am done with buying expensive halters as Izzy can't be trusted to not maim or destroy them. My next consideration was whether to buy a $35 cheapo halter and replace it regularly or go with a moderately priced halter and hope it lasts longer than a year.

I opted for a moderately priced halter. With every online tack store offering 15% off for the Memorial Day weekend, I sort of had my choice. After combing through my regular haunts for a good bargain, I opted for the Henri de Rivel Kushy Soft Padded Leather Halter from Riding Warehouse. With the 15% discount, it came to $59.46. I would have liked to pay closer to $35 than $60, but it looks like a nice halter. 

Now I have to decide whether to get yet another nameplate done for him. It might have to read - DESTROYER OF ALL THINGS.
