Is it safe to leave a horses halter on when he is turned out in pasture?
It depends on the turnout halter. For a horse to be safe out in pasture with a halter on, it must have a breakaway crownpiece. These are normally leather, but I have seen some with a velcro piece. You can normally get replacement crownpieces for breakaway halters, or pieces to convert a normal halter into a breakaway.

Is there a consensus as to whether one uses a bridle and halter during therapeutic horseback riding lessons or just a bridle or just a halter and why?
The choice of Bridle, Halter, or both is up to the discretion of the instructor. That being said there are factors that contribute to that choice. If the person riding cannot hold onto reins or would cause the horse pain then the horse would ;likely wear a halter only. If the rider had good motor skills and could keep from hurting the horses mouth, then just a bridle would be good. If however the rider is in a transition from poor to good muscle control then they would likely use both. The bridle to teach the rider to hold the reins and a halter to keep control over the horse as the rider learns.

If a horse is loose without a halter is it best to catch it with a soft rope or a shirt?
Always use a halter as it will give you the most control. Also if the horse is loose and in a herd never carry any feed of any kind into the paddock or pasture with you as you may be mugged by the other horses and wind up getting trampled.Once you have the horse it would be a good idea to work on it's 're-call' training.
What should you use to catch a horse without his halter?
If you have nothing to catch him with and just need to lead him somewhere, grab a chunk of mane behind his ears where the halter normally sits and put gentle pressure on it. If he is well halter trained he should think he's wearing a halter and you should be able to lead him around. If you have a rope, loop it around his neck where the halter sits, again he'll think he's wearing a halter. This is only good for leading him around, obviously you can't tie him with either method.
Would Soft rope or chains which are best to catch a horse with no halter?
Most horses can be caught with a soft rope around the neck. If the horse tries to escape, let it go until you can find a halter however. Do not knot the rope around the neck or you may lose it. Bridling a horse is a lot harder than putting a halter on, and some horses may react badly if they are not trained to accept a bridle. You or the horse may be hurt, and the bridle may be damaged. Less is usually best. depends on how good your roping skills are, i would suggest to bring along a bridle and lead so once you have caught the horse, you can put it on and lead your horse.
