Rope Halter for Horse with the FIADOR knot | Step By Step 2021

D.I.Y Rope Halter for horses made easy with our clear step by step instructions!
With easy step by step instructions everyone can follow, in both video and clear pictures. The complex Fiador knot is clearly explained.
Do you want to make a rope halter for your schleich horse? Just use cord with a smaller diameter, and divide the numbers until it is small enough to fit your schleich horse!
The rope halter is used by all of the great natural horsemanship trainers like Clinton Anderson, Warwick Schiller, Pat Parelli, Jonathan Field, Chris Irwin and many more. The advantages of the rope halter are that they are lightweight, small and highly adjustable. The halter helps in training your horse, for they give a little faster response than a regular halter. This is because of the small diameter of the halter, as well as the knots which are located on some nerves on the head.
For this rope halter I used 6 mm thick rope, max 8 mm is advised. You can find this rope mainly in boating stores, they usually carry loads of sizes and colors for decent prices.
Make sure the rope for your rope halter is not too elastic, and that there is no separate core and the rope is thus entirely consisting of braided rope.
This rope halter can be easily transformed into a riding bitless halter by adding rings to the nose band knots. You can then attach your reins to these rings for steering.

Thank you SO much, that darned fiador knot was driving me crazy!

[@WoodenShoesHomestead]

You're welcome! I know right, the fiador is still killing me sometimes and then I watch my own video to see how to actually do it ;)

Best video for a rope halter I have found on KZbin. Very well explained, had no troubles following the tutorial. Very happy😀😀😀😀

[@WoodenShoesHomestead]

Thanks! I even use it myself when I have not done it in a while, just to double check on that fiador knot ;)

[@Clementine.Dreamcobbler]

I've been searching on KZbin for 2 hours now, this has been the best tutorial, and I'm going to try it on my horse!

[@WoodenShoesHomestead]

Thanks! I'm glad you find it useful. What type of horse do you have?

[@Clementine.Dreamcobbler]

@@WoodenShoesHomestead I have a thoroughbred.

[@WoodenShoesHomestead]

Then this size should be able to fit your horse too :) Let me know how it worked out!

I was super happy, following all instructions up til 'feed your rope through the knot' around 9 minutes....you only show it, you don't explain where the rope is going...and you do it super fast so even with pausing the video it is very hard to see where you put your rope end. A bit more explanation would be great (like most crochet videos that have some slo-mo and zoomed-in parts)

[@WoodenShoesHomestead]

I'm sorry to hear that. What you basically do there is adding this to the knot that is already there. So from a knot made out of 1 rope you make it a knot out of 2 ropes, just by following the rope that is already there. To do this correctly is basically just watching closely that the ropes follow exactly the same track throughout the knot. I hope this explains a little what I was doing there.
