The Riding Halter is any type of rope halter specifically designed to be used for riding horses. It can be considered a type of bitless bridle.
The riding halter differs from its cousin, the rope halter, in that it does not contain a fiador knot as part of its design. It also has two rings set low on the noseband for the purpose of attaching reins. It differs from a side-pull in that the reins attach low on the noseband, whereas on a side-pull, the reins attach on the side of the noseband.
A riding halter acts in a similar manner to a side-pull. Control is achieved by direct pressure on the nose. As it does not use leverage nor any type of clamping or restrictive action, it is considered one of the mildest types of bitless bridle. Riding halters are well suited for endurance riding, trail riding, and in many types of natural horsemanship riding.
A riding halter can be used as an alternative to a bitted bridle, although some prior training is required in order for the horse to remain controllable by the rider. There is some research which indicates a possible negative effect of using a bitted bridle
