Hope I'm allowed to say this here ...
Monty was originally looking to design an effective training halter for leading and loading that was also humane, practical and easy for anyone to use. He wanted something that did NOT use excessive poll pressure which can cause soreness and rearing meaning he wanted a material with quality flat surfaces and not rope. Meanwhile (back at the ranch) Kelly was feeling uncomfortable using bits on starting horses and horses with problems and was experimenting with long lining and riding with just a headcollar with two rings fitted each side on which to attach reins. This worked pretty well except the headcollar would keep slipping around the horses face . Hmmmm so what to do?
Hurrah! Monty had now designed "The Dually" named after his old horse Dually because it was originally dual purpose (although now really multi purpose but its a bit late to change the name. Heres some official sale blurb a unique design with an adjustable double noseband, high quality brass hardware, double stitched nylon and left and right side ring designed especially for schooling. Plus (Kellys addition here) suits most horses for long lining and starting and some horses for riding especially if they havent been going well in bits previously and Plus it can be used as a normal headcollar for tying up and Plus it comes with a free DVD which is cleverly named How to Use the Dually Halter.
Sizes come up quite large but there are plenty of holes so there is good adjustability. The smallest a small would fit is a 13 hh pony going up to a 15.2 hh with a smaller head. What we have done here for smaller ponies is to ask our local saddler to shorten the sides which means it fits perfectly. The medium would fit from 14 hh Big Head to a finer 16.2 hh, the large is LARGE! Please note the small are only available in red, the medium are only available in black and the large only available in blue! Please be sure to put the correct colour with the correct size so we can be sure youve been paying attention!
