How to make a braided paracord noseband for a horse halter. Step by step instructions.

How to make a braided noseband for a horse halter. step by step instructions for two different styles of noseband.
Use around 12 feet of 550 paracord for a cob size. For the second noseband with the crosses, use around 8 feet of main colour, and around 4 feet of contrast colour. Use a couple of feet more or less for larger or smaller sizes. You can learn to make the rope halter in my other video on youtube: • How to make a rope hal... .

How much would you use for a horse sized halter? Or with each different size, 2 Ft more? Or is that too much? A ft? I make all different sizes of halter and not sure how much I should change the measurement fir each size so I’m not wasting

[@runningred6694]

Can you make a video on “how to make a paracord wither strap”?

[@kerbiebrose9483]

Thank you for doing this video! Do you make leadropes? If so, possibly do a video on how to make one?

[@Peacedonkeys]

+Kerbie Brose sorry kerbie, i don't know how to do leadropes.

[@Serphyr]

How do you do it using halter squares and two different colours?

[@maddalenahylton]

Super helpful video! Could I weave this on a nylon standard halter too? Not just a rope one.

[@Peacedonkeys]

g'day lena, yes, you can, but you will probably need more paracord since it is wider than a rope halter, you will need to experiment a bit to see how much cord you need. maybe use 4 feet of cord and see how many inches it covers, then multiply that by how long your hoseband is. all the best.

[@maddalenahylton]

Peace donkeys alrighty thanks so much! I have 2 pieces of 10 foot chord I think that should do the trick

[@jumpingdreamersriders9570]

More nosebands 😂😍😜

Do you have any recommendations on how to create the "fringe" look when creating paracord tack?

[@Peacedonkeys]

Hi Sierra, I'm not really a fringe girl, so no I don't really, but if you have a look around Pinterest you will see quite a lot of fringe tack just adds in short pieces of paracord to their weave with a cow hitch/larks head knot, and I have also seen some with an extra granny knot on top of the initial knot to prevent it coming undone. I have also seen some with beads where they thread a strand through the braid, add beads, then tie a knot and melt the knot so id doesn't fray. all the best!

[@shervinamir9241]

عالی

[@maryjane8577]

Hey nice video! But please don't tether your horses/donkeys wir a rope halter! When the panik and the pull on it it hurts them very very bad in the neck. Please think about it. Lots of love 💖

[@kaylaspeener1961]

is the paracord gentler than the regular rope halter noseband (without extra knots)

[@Peacedonkeys]

hi Autumn, no, it is no gentler, and I find that riding with it is harsher than plain halter, but just for leading your horse around it is ok.

[@randalljustus5515]

what size of paracord do u use?

[@phoebejohnson7336]

How do you make a browband in the same style as this nose band but so it can attach to the bridle? X

[@Peacedonkeys]

g'day phoebe, you can do it just like in this video:kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGPTqmyQmbidebc. but use bigger cord and no beads. all the best with it.

[@marcomercado2792]

how many inches is the noseband?

[@darrianherniter471]

If you dont have a long enough piece, would it look choppy if you started another piece?

[@Peacedonkeys]

you could probably get away with it if you could work it so the join was at the back, but make sure it is smooth and doesn't rub your horse's nose.

[@greghall554]

Do you have a video on how to make the bridle itself? Thank you.

[@Peacedonkeys]

hi greg, if you click 'show more' under this video there is a link to the video of how to make the halter itself - no bridle videos though.

[@audreyfotoart1]

I would love to braid a complete halter, not just the noseband. Do you have any instructions for that?

[@Peacedonkeys]

hi audrey, no i don't, but i guess if you want to braid the whole halter, then you would braid over the top of all the rope using the same method as the noseband?

[@sofiasestakova5198]

One question, in waht store you buy the rainbow rope? Please, cause I don't speak english. I love your creations😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

It's just paracord

[@lauram.4758]

Do you a thinner cord for the noseband than for the actual halter?

[@Peacedonkeys]

hi laura, yes, i used 550 paracord for the noseband braid, and halter rope for the actual halter.

What size cord did you use for the actual halter, or did you buy the halter?

[@Peacedonkeys]

+Adam Jeske hi adam, there is a link under this video to my other video on how to make the actual halter. i used 6mm halter rope, sometimes called equestrian or yachting rope depending what country you are from. cheers mate.

[@bstarr2318]

what type of paracord did you use ? was it parachute? if not what is type

hi brigitte, 550 paracord.

U have to measure him

[@saraswann2074]

What size paracord do you use for the halter part??? Not the nose band braid part.

[@Peacedonkeys]

+Sarah Swan Hi Sarah, the halter is not made from paracord, it is made from horse halter rope. there is a link under this video to my video of how to make the halter. hope this helps. :)

[@maddiebrock1864]

How much Paracord would u need for a mini horse size

[@Peacedonkeys]

hi maddie, it depends how tight or loose you want your noseband, but i'd start with 10 feet and cut off the excess when you're happy with your noseband.

[@shayleighsanches4748]

do you know of any books with instructions to do all kinds of paracord tack

[@Peacedonkeys]

sorry, i don't. maybe do a google search. :)

Para el primero cuantos cm usas con una soga de 5mm?

[@Peacedonkeys]

hi josefina, sorry I don't really understand the question, I used google translate. I use the paracord all the way between the two noseband knots?

[@miau5365]

@@Peacedonkeys she asks how long the paracord has to be if it is 5mm thick for the first halter

[@Peacedonkeys]

ok thank mias, Josefina,, if you have thicker rope, just add a few inches more cord, maybe another 6 inches.

[@k.barasch238]

I was wondering how much paracord you'd recommend for the different types of nosebands you've done (basic tight-weave + cross patterns from this video, snake, two-tone, + flame from some of your other videos) if someone was using this halter sizing chart? i.pinimg.com/564x/cd/17/15/cd1715558a179862faba9a4342a2ee43.jpg

[@Peacedonkeys]

hi kip, i have put the cord amounts at the start of most of those videos i think. I just had a quick look at the two tone one again and i listed the cord amounts for three different size nosebands. you'll have to adjust up or down for the larger or smaller ones than listed There is only a couple of inches difference between all the different sizes so there won't be a lot in it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2rJdISXl7yElck All the best!

[@TheGoogtube]

What diameter are the chords?

[@Peacedonkeys]

hi, i used 550 paracord which is around about 4mm. If you click "show more" underneath the video, there is a link at the end where you can find it on amazon, or you can google 550 paracord. cheers mate.

[@pitbulls4life141]

[@DivHorseAddicted]

Hi, but your fiador knot is upside-down!

[@laceybryan9725]

how many feet would u use for a regular size rope halter

[@Peacedonkeys]

hi lacey, not sure what you mean by 'regular size'. halter sizes are usually termed mini, pony, cob and full, depending on how big the horse's head is. This was a cob size, so you will use a few feet more for a bigger halter, and a few feet less for a smaller one.

[@laceybryan9725]

It fits a grown through bred / paint

[@Peacedonkeys]

What size halter is your horse currently wearing? if it is a cob, then you will use the same as in the video, if it is a full, you will need a few feet more, say around 15 feet of paracord should cover the noseband - experiment with more, and you can cut off the excess, rather than get to the end and you don't have enough.

[@laceybryan9725]

I use to different halters

[@Iris-yl3gm]

measure your rope halter nose band (very top knots) so u know how much longer or shorter it is. for example mine is 13 inches instead of 9 so im gonna cut off at least 4 extra feet so i wont run out ;) i have an already cut 16ft of rope so i am able to test out size without wasting rope ill comment if 16 works

[@ryleefarver]

How many horses do you have and how many donkeys ?? ❤

[@Peacedonkeys]

g'day rylee, just 2 donkeys now.

[@livvillaa]

Where do you buy your paracord

[@Peacedonkeys]

sorry, didn't see your question. you can buy from cams cords in Australia, or elsewhere from here: amzn.to/29X4JyF

[@syoncav]

Its much easier to use a small bbq lighter to melt the ends. And you can use the sides of your scissor blades to smooth the melted end. I buy my cord from Cams Cord. Make sure you buy US made cord as its much nicer to work with than cheap stuff made in China.

[@kjequine_1145]
