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!
