Description
Side Pull Rope Halter - 4 Knot Stiff
Designed for bitless riding, groundwork, and cross-tying.
Made with our durable ¼" stiff polyester halter cord, this halter has a structured feel and maintains its shape even with daily use. The 4 knots on the noseband are strategically placed to give your horse a clear cue to soften and yield to pressure, making this a great choice for pushy horses or riders looking for better control when going bitless.
Ring Placement Options
There are different benefits to where the sidepull rings are placed on the halter. Here's how each setup can help you decide what works best for your horse:
Noseband Rings
Gives direct pressure to the noseband and knots along the nose. This placement delivers clear, lateral cues—helpful for steering and establishing straightforward direction signals.
Chin Rings
Distribute pressure through both the chin and the nose, creating a more dispersed feel which may keep the horse more relaxed and responsive. This is also a good choice when working on headset.

Rope halter
I have been purchasing Knotty Girlz halters, ropes, sidepulls and now reins, for over 15 years! I have never been disappointed, and l have probably 15 sets! Colors match exactly, they wash up so nicely and my oldest ones are still in excellent shape!

Great quality
I love these halters, great quality rope, some rope makers cut costs and use cheaper yacht rope that ends up stretching like crazy but my knotty one holds up the same as my parelli one I’ve had for near a decade. So glad to find a company that makes one for a nice price without any names attached to hike up the prices.

Large fits my yearling draft
Was looking for a side pull for a yearling draft that had already outgrown horse size but not full draft size and the large works perfectly. Double bonus points because I can use as a halter also!
