Hello there! I am looking for some opinions and good advice.
I study Project Design Engineering Degree in my University. It's time for me to choose my final year Major Project theme. As big horse lover myself, I chosen development of the humane and easy to use halter for horses who tend to pull in hands or even runaway from the lead.Of course, I understand that such horses require the work of a trainer and upbringing, but nevertheless, many of them tend to pull for various reasons: fright, curiosity and stress. I believe that the design that I propose is simpler and more convenient to use than the stallion chain, besides it delivers less horse discomfort.
HOW TO USE.
Strict Version
In order to have better control over horse and prevent it from exessive pulling, you should fasten lead to "strict" ring 2, and fasten hook 3 to ring 4.
Soft Version
In order to tie horse or stable it safely, you fasten lead to "soft" ring 1 and unfasten safety hook 5. When the horse is not tied or left unattended, this hook must always remains open!
HOW IT WORKS.
Well, how it works? The main feature of this halter is the ability to use it not only as a "controlling" one, but also as an ordinary halter. Absolutely safe. We all know that an attached horse must be able to tear off the leash in case of emergency. This halter gives you such opportunity. You might have noticed that the chain in the case is having main controlling effect on the horse. When hook 5 is fastened, this element is unterable and, if you fastened lead to "string" ring 2 it's controling horse with moderate, well-distributed pressure on nose. Normaly it's controls horses greatly (similar pricnciple applies in soft bitless bridles and stallion chain).
However, this chain becomes an indissoluble element, therefore, the horse can not tear it and fall off the leash. In order for this to become possible, the hook 5 should be unfastened - when it is, everything that holds the chain together is an insert of an easily-tearable fabric. In order to be freed from the halter, it is enough for the horse to tear this insert and free from halter in regular way.
PROS OF THIS HALTER.
This is how it will look like on horse. (approximately). Noseband size regulators will be surely added to.
Thank you very much for your attention. If you liked the idea and you would have bought something like this - please fill out this small survey. There are only four questions. Thank you very much.

PROS OF THIS HALTER.
- System is easy to use - you do not need to fix any additional elements on the halter, which can be quite problematic if the horse, for example, tugs its head. Unlike stallion chain, this system can be used by less experienced riders.
- Both "strict" and "safe". You can use this halter not only for leading horse, but, for example, for safe tying with minimalised risk it will get itself injured.
- You will never lost or forget it, as it can happen with stallion chain. Also you can quickly change between "strict" and "soft" depending on your horse's mood.
- Moderated and well-distributed pressure is less uncomfortable for horse than usage of average chain or stallion bit, also it provides good teaching: the signal "pulling = pressure" is much more obvious.
This is how it will look like on horse. (approximately). Noseband size regulators will be surely added to.
