We had to put a couple more holes in it which was fine but it is still hard to get it tight. Our mare only needs it when stalled and we have to leave a halter on her and Velcro it to the halter to keep it from sliding backwards down her neck. Not bad for the price but you just have to find the right combination for your horse and sometimes that trial and error can be frustrating. It would be nice if it didn’t slide down our mare’s neck.
