Why choose a suitable halter and lead rope for groundwork in horsemanship?

Question

Accepted Answer

A halter and lead rope adapted to horsemanship allow for fine and precise communication with the horse. The rope halter, being lighter and more precise, helps transmit subtle cues using specific pressure points. The lead rope, longer and slightly heavier, provides the horse with more freedom while maintaining a light and steady contact.
