Original sentence: A snugly-adjusted rope halter, with knots on the cheeks and noseband that are tied so as to be placed over pressure points of the face, is sometimes called a riding halter and is somewhat similar to a side-pull.{{fact}  It does not tighten on the horse's head, nor does it exert any type of leverage, and is therefore, like the side-pull, considered very mild
Edited sentence: A snugly-adjusted rope halter, with knots on the cheeks and noseband that are tied so as to be placed over pressure points of the face, and used two reins is somewhat similar to a sidepull.{{fact}  However,  an ordinary loose rope or any flat web or leather stable halter, even with added reins, is unsafe for riding, as any application of reins may cause it to slip around on the horse's head, and absent knots, leverage, or tightening, can control a horse only while the animal is in a very cooperative frame of mind
