HOW TO & DIY: Make a Horse Photo Halter for Equine Photography + FIT IT SAFELY on Location

- This month I photographed more horses than I had photo halters for, so I had to improvise and found that it's super easy to DIY so I thought I'd share how to make your own equine photo halter for horse photography and also cover how to put a photo halter on and take one off safely when you're out on location on an equine photoshoot.
Also, how amazing is Tuna (Fortuna) looking at the moment?!

Disclaimer & Rope chat:
⚠️ Working with horses is dangerous, there are many risks.
⚠️ If you are DIYing your equine photography halter then you need to be aware of the payload of your rope and make sure that it will not break under non-emergency level tension, and also that friction will not cause it to fray.
⚠️ Using a ring instead of just the rope is a step in the right direction, but really climbing, yachting, sailing rope etc will be the starting point for you.
⚠️ I will not be responsible if you make a weak halter after watching this video and cause an accident/wreck, ok!

Thanks for sharing, I looked for this explanation everywhere you can think of after I saw you doing it in that other video. Thanks for directing me to this one.
I will teach this in a video also here in my language for those who need it too. Kisses
finally someone who wants to share how to make them... i have tryed so many times to figuret out how it looks like under the cheek.. so thank you very much... btw.. tune is so beautiful
Well now you know how to make your own at home you can give it a go 😊 thank you for your kind words on Tuna, she is coming on really nicely 😍
this will make it so much easier.
Glad that you will find it useful 🤓
Awesome! Looking forward to more videos with horses 🦄
Oh I am sure you won’t be disappointed 🤓
Thank you again! Needed a reminder 😊
You are so welcome!
Amazing! Well done, love it, thank you for sharing!
No worries and glad you liked it 😊
Ahh this is the best!! I have been searching for an easy DIY for this for a while now. From now on my horse shoots will be so much more easy
Honestly it makes the whole editing process so much easier 🤓
Wow this is fabulous and so simple! Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to try this with my mare on our next photo shoot!
No worries 😊 hope you find it useful and easy to follow 🤓
Slick trick, thanks for sharing! (and Tuna is looking Fab-u-lous!)
Thank you and thank you again 🤓 She is coming on really well 😊
Thank you!
Aww so good to see gorgeous Tuna 😍😍 thanks for another great video, and gives me an idea of making a dog slip lead easier to remove on PS
Thank you so much 🙏 it's always great to know when someone has really liked the video content 😊
I purchased one last year but I’ll probably make one as well. You made it look really easy. Thanks for sharing.
Tuna is just so pretty … hoping we get a follow along edit of a gorgeous portrait of her ❤️
It’s always good to have a spare 😊 we did do one back in March but that’s not saying they won’t be another 🤓
Thank you so much for sharing
No worries, hopefully you found this useful 🤓
I already bought 3 (white, black and beige) but this model seems easier to put on, so I will make one as well🙈 Also I want to note that it is important that your rope is at least 6mm wide. To avoid really nasty wounds when your horse spooks, would you please put that somewhere in a little disclaimer? And also that it is risky to use on horses that tend to run. Thanks!🥰
Thank you for the feedback Chantal 🥰 there's a disclaimer underneath the video covering the use of the rope 👍 wellbeing and safety is always a top priority for us, thank you again for your support 😊
Thank you!!!
No worries 😊
Awesome video, thank you so much! 🙂
In case your horse runs away frightened or sth so you really need to hold it... doesn't the halter contract/tighten and hurt the horses head? Is there any variation in knotting to prevent this? 😬
awesome, I was thinking of buying another one (already bought two) So I might just make one :)
Absolutely! So pleased you found it useful 😊
The best
Thank you for your kind words 🙏😊
Wow, was thinking of buying one, but now I can make it. Thanks so much. What a great video. Is this pretty safe for strong horses?
No worries 😊 It should be safe providing you use a high strength material and your knot is a good strong knot 🤓
made my Friday, thanks! Very cool. Can that be done for dogs? like a DIY show lead? ooooooo I can spy, with my little globulous eye, a 5-min Friday video idea XD
Yes for sure!
I literally just tested this on my dog to see what it would look like on the horses🤣
What payload do you recommend as a minimum?
This would totally depend on the horse(s) that it is being used on, just remember you can’t go to high with the payload but going too low will likely lead to issue 😊
@@ThatPhotographySpot thank you. I bought one from a UK equine photographer last year and it broke (luckily only on a black background shoot) so don’t want to end up going too low. I don’t know what a normal payload is though 🥺
Thank you!
No worries, hope you found it useful 😊
