I have the white rope halter that you can get from the agri merchant for about £5 - it comes made up but I do find it takes a bit of working out to get right - it has 2 loops - one for behind the ears and one for around their nose and under their chin - you just pull the lead part to tighten up. We also got one that is flat leather with buckles, it's easier to put on and sits nice
