3. Longeing Cavesson. You have no control longeing in a halter. They can whip the head around and they are gone. A longeing cavesson applies pressure to the sensitive nose. A horse hits the end of that and they'll usually think twice about trying it again. The term is called 'leverage', and right now, you've got none and he knows it.
I will disagree. A correctly fitted halter will work very well

unless the horse wants to run off then you can refer to the pictures above to see what happens. If you can control the horses nose you can control the whole body.
The horse is running off because been taught it can.

What I am saying is not everyone needs to run out and buy special equipment for every problem. In this case, a chain would work too. Run the chain from the ring on the opposite jowl piece, through the side ring, over the nose and through the ring on the near side. The head will stay down and the nose can be tipped in. But chains are not for people who can't give and take pressure instantly.
