Byron Grant - Founder Hi-Tech Halters

About the Founder - Byron Grant

Byron is an avid horse trainer, an accomplished farrier and is well known for his ability to work with horses. He team ropes and has a breeding program on his horse ranch in Roosevelt, Utah.

We asked Byron some questions about him and his halters.

What's your experience with horses?

"I've been in the horse business for 40 years and have been a horse trainer for most of those years. I have a 50 gal. drum full of broken rope and strap halters. I started out as a teenager when the theory was "Survival of the Fittest". Thank goodness times and methods have changed! Today you get better results, and accidents are less frequent. One thing is certain, even the best trained and most mild mannered horse, if spooked can hit the end of your lead rope with the force that can rock a barn!"

Why did you start this business?

"Because the conventional halters on the market aren't adequate to keep a horse tied and secured. In my horse training business we have seen a lot of accidents due to the result of halter failure. When the halter breaks, the horse can flip over backwards. A horse’s brain is located in the top of its head, and there have been a lot of horses killed and many have become retarded after flipping over because of a halter breaking. This is aside from all of the other problems that rolling over can cause to their back, neck, and vertebrae."
"I began experimenting for myself and created the halter you see today. People started asking where I got the halters and when I said I had made them myself they would ask me to make one for them. Everyone wanted one. As the halter increased in popularity, I decided to create this company Hi-Tech Halters to meet the demand."

Who was this Halter made for?

"Anyone who works with, or owns horses needs these halters. You don't want to use an inferior product that creates a risk for your horse or the horse of one of your clients. Once a horse pulls back and breaks a conventional halter it is much more difficult to fix the problem of pulling back and to keep the horse from breaking another halter."
"Hi-Tech Halters are not only user friendly and ‘horse friendly’, but are virtually unbreakable by any horse. Your horse doesn't need to be rank or unruly to use this halter. They are designed for every day use on any horse."
