Every November, we go through the products we've tested over the past 12 issues - hundreds of items - to see which stand out as making life easier for us and the horses we love. Most of these products remain in use and continue to impress us, deserving to be Products of the Year. The Brid-OVRTM halter helps when we have to bridle horses for a foxhunt or at a one-day show where our trailer is our stall. You can put the bridle on over the halter, then release a buckle and two snaps and remove the halter while maintaining control of your horse. The leather and brass hardware are beautiful. Halters That Help You Bridle Your Horse The Brid-OVRTM is made in the U.S. from beautiful leather with fine, solid- brass hardware. The addition of the chin snap allows the halter to be removed after the horse has been bridled. It has a buckle on the near side of the poll but not on the off side, which is useful when unbridling since it means less hardware to catch on the bridle and bit. Since there are a minimum of snaps, the Brid-OVRTM is also suitable for turnout. The bottom line is that the Brid-OVRTM halter will suit a full range of uses in addition to its specialized purpose and is OUR FAVORITE. Our tester used the Brid-OVRTM most frequently at home, working around the show barn he manages and sees a real advantage due to the fact that the horse remains safely tied during tacking and untacking. The Brid-OVRTM really comes in handy at a horse show, a trail ride, out hunting or wherever you need to tack up. Our tester liked the halter's quality. Its inch-wide harness leather with solid brass fittings looked quite at home in an A-circuit barn, and being leather, the halter conforms to Pony Club and 4-H requirements. Empty Pocket Farm is the exclusive distributor of the horseman's most valuable piece of safety equipment other than helmets. Brid-OVRTM halters give riders a safety cushion that allows them to bridle and unbridle at shows or any public event, without ever removing the halter. Simplicity itself, the Brid-OVRTM is multi-functional as both a show and grooming halter. Its nose-opening design does not slide down the horse's neck when open. Each halter is handmade of top quality harness leather and hand- rubbed with solid brass fittings. It is available in brown and black in four sizes and very fairly priced. An excellent gift choice!
