MagsMom and EVA - sorry for my rudeness, I should have thanked you sooner for answering my question!

Those little halters and little leads reminded me of the baby-collars and leashes we put on his dogs when they were puppies, and yep it was to get them used to it and to make them easier to catch. But I figured I'd better not assume the same was true for horse puppies.

Thanks again.
