How To: Remove A Halter Plate

5/26/2017

   Unfortunately, soon after learning how to somewhat successfully attach a halter plate, I had to learn how to take them off. My leather halters broke beyond repair so while I wait to get new ones I wanted to make sure my nameplates stayed safe. The best piece of equipment I found is a pair of farrier nippers.

   Push the rivet away from the leather on the back side so you can get the nippers around the rivet. Be sure to be careful to not catch the leather in the way (if you are worried about saving the leather). Then clamp the nippers shut and spin and wiggle till the end pops off. The rivet then will easily separate from the nameplate. Such a simple process! 

   Most barns have a pair of nippers for emergency shoe removal, but if not I'm sure you could borrow your farrier's the next time you see them!
