Answer 1

Well i show halter horses too. I work mine every other day except on Sunday. On the days I don't wok them i spend time standing them up. I use two neck sweats and work for about 10-15 mins. depends on how hot it is. I work them in a round pen either on or off a lunge line. I then put back in a stall and let them sweat till they lather.Usually about another10-15 mins. All my halter horses are on crimped oats, equalizer and alfalfa hay. I feed twice a day. Mine get 2 scoops of oats and 1/4 equalizer. Flake of hay.

Just thought this might help you...I found it on the net...

The number one book recommended is Winning at Halter by Denny Hassett, it's considered the halter "bible" by many. And covers everything from feeding to training to grooming, you can usually find it on Amazon or most of the horse supply catalogs offer it as well.

I know I don't KNOW about it...but many sites were recommending this book...
