Halters and Leads

[Charlie Horse]

I like to use the flat nylon dog leashes on my goats. They have a loop at the end and you can loop it around a tree or high-line, feed the buckle through and you've got a quick way to secure a goat permanently. Horse lead ropes are unnecessarily heavy. I just dragged my horse's lead through a patch of some kind of mint weed in their field and the soft rope fibers got filled with a zillion prickly burrs. Nice.
