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.

Great Halter
Superior quality! I've been enjoying using this since I got it. The stiffness is quite stiff, which keeps it from getting tangled and applies good pressure. Both horses definitely mind me better, tho I've changed nothing else. The purple is nice & vivid. Haven't used as a side pull yet, but the option is nice & the rings are convenient to have in general.

This is the most vibrant, perfect shade of turquoise! Extremely happy with quality & stiffness of this halter. I also appreciated the ability to customize the cheek piece length & assistance from customer service answering my sizing questions. Thank you for a stellar product & service!

Top Knot Side Pull With Rings
Love it so far. I bought a small for my average size horse so it's nice and snug. My mare is so responsive that I may not ever use a bit! Fast shipping, good price. Stiff but not too stiff. Nice person on the phone too.

Great rope halter
Knotty Girlz has the BEST custom yacht rope products. I got a stiff, 4 knot halter with rings to use as a bitless bridle. It slays. If you are on the fence, but their rope sample pack to feel the ropes. Absolutely recommend

perfect side pull
Handiest halter in the whole tack room! And it looks great! We chose olive green with brass rings and it looks good on every horse. Perfect for cross-tying and hacking around for fun. Thank you Knotty Girlz for maintaining excellent standards and creating outstanding products!

Looks beautiful
Well made halter. Looks great on my chestnut QH mare. Easy to use. Only gave 4 stars because I wish it was just a little softer. Hoping it softens with time. Didn’t expect it to be quite this stiff. Do love the cheek rings. Great for cross ties. Overall very good product!
