[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 944449, member: 852"] How strong does a rope need to be to hold a horse that's pulling back? I need to replace a halter made from glow-in-the-dark rope that came apart when my folks tied the wrong horse up with it. Looking online, the typical glow in the dark rope is 1/4" and 350lbs breaking strength (pathetic). I found some that will hold 2300lbs at 1/4" or 3400lbs at 5/16". I could get larger diameter too, ie 1/2" holds 8500lbs, but I'd like to keep it within "halter" constraints and not "harness" style. :P Certainly not planning to tie the Problem Child with this halter but I'd still like something that *would* hold if the Well Behaved Colt had a meltdown. Have a friend that can make the halter, I just need to know what to purchase. (And no, I still can't see the point of having a halter that glows in the dark; I never leave halters on my horses -- but I think the folks want it for the "cool" factor.) Thanks- [/QUOTE]
