Julie Goodnight Unveils “Rope Couture” Halter and Training Leads

Poncha Springs, Colorado: Horse trainer and clinician Julie Goodnight (of Poncha Springs, Colorado) worked with rope-tying experts to create her American-made Rope Couture™ halters and training leads. Goodnight chose precise rope dimensions and unique tying techniques to ensure that her halters offer effective-yet-kind communication with horses.

The ropes and halters are free from metal parts to make sure your horse is never harmed or scared by too much pressure. “I’ve never worked with a horse that needed more pressure than a tied knot beneath their chin,” Goodnight explains. “I made sure this halter line offers precise pressure without the chance that metal will harm them. Then, I designed two halter options—the flat and rounded noseband styles. Both halter types are excellent training tools, but also mild enough to use every day.”

Choose the flat-wrapped noseband for groundwork—the flat, decorative knots provide the most pressure over a larger area to help horses learn where to be and how to act. They’ll quickly feel your correction. The round noseband is designed for everyday use and also works for riding. Either style is $24.95 and is designed to fit any horse—from Arab-size to Warmblood. Other sizes available by special order. The halters are available in a variety of colors—allowing horse owners to match their farm colors or personal favorites. Visit http://juliegoodnight.com for current color combinations.

Training leads are available in 12 ($34.95) or 15-foot ($39.95) lengths and come in hues to match every halter. Goodnight selected the highest quality marine-style rope, custom manufactured for its shape, feel and handling. Choose a 12-foot lead for horses under 16 hands, or a 15-foot lead for horses over 16 hands. Each lead is sewn with a loop at the end to attach to halter with no metal buckle. Choose from raspberry, tan, pine green, Pacific blue, lime, or black.

Goodnight has experience in many equestrian disciplines and with many horse breeds—ranging from dressage and jumping to racing, reining, colt-starting, and wilderness riding. Please contact http://www.juliegoodnight.com or call 719-530-0531 to purchase or for more information.
