The Brid-OVRTM is an original, uniquely designed, nose-opening, all leather show halter which allows you to bridle over the halter and then remove the halter from beneath the bridle, thus never losing control of your horse. When you are finished riding, simply place the open halter over the bridle, cross tie your horse and remove the bridle from beneath the halter. The Brid-OVRTM is constructed of one-inch width leather which is single thickness on the nose band and crown piece for ease of manipulation and safety. The other halter pieces are tripled leather and triple stitched, hand-rubbed and finished with a rolled throat latch and solid brass fittings. The Brid-OVRTM has an extra clip which is strategically placed to allow complete removal of the halter from beneath ANY bridle. When the halter is on the horse, the extra clip is discrete. This halter WILL NOT slide down the horse's neck like a European buckle-nose halter when it is in the open position. The Brid-OVRTM performs superbly and can be used when tacking up anywhere, including out of your trailer or van when cross ties or that extra hand are not available. You can teach a young horse to bridle or a new rider to bridle. Your lesson barn can have several horses tacked up all at the same time and ready to go, waiting in cross ties for your students. The Brid-OVRTM is great while harnessing one, a pair or more horses, as you can finish harnessing completely with only the halter to remove to drive off! Grooming and clipping are a breeze as the throat latch area can be totally exposed, unlike with the standard grooming halters available. Finally, the Brid-OVRTM is PERMITTED in Pony Club, as it is constructed solely of leather.
