How To: Attach A Halter Plate

   I've always seen these beautiful leather halters with brass nameplates and just thought there was some magical factory that put these plates on halters. Well, recently I finally got nameplates for my horses and realized that there wasn't some factory that just put these on. Now, if you live in an area with a fancy tack store that can do this for you, great. I don't so it turned into a great DIY project. Below are the steps I took to attach my nameplates.

Decide where you want the plate and measure it out.

Mark the locations of the holes on the leather.

Punch holes in the halter at the marked spots.

Insert the copper rivet with the post sticking out the front.

Place the halter plate over the posts then place cap over the first post.

Find a hard surface and a wide headed hammer and flatten the cap on the post. Repeat on other side.

Voila!
