Well when the horse was a baby you should have kept a halter on a few days after he was born to get used to it. If you did not do that than you can get a halter and put it on loose so that it is not hurting him/her but tight enough so they cant rip it off. when the horse gets used to that then you can clip a lead rope to his halter and ask for a walk and it will take time but if the horse is still a baby it will take less time then a matured horse

When would you use a halter?

What is the basic harness item to move your horse to one place to another?

The halter and lead rope are a horse owners staple. It is used to lead or tie or any time you handle your horse on the ground. The best is a nylon halter because of it's strength and durablity but never turn a horse out or even in a stall wearing a nylon halter. If you have a horse that hates to be caught and you need to keep a halter on him use a leather or breakaway halter instead. If the horse snags the halter on something the leather will snap and the horse won't be injured. I cringe every time I see a pastured horse wearing a nylon halter.
