I have both sensory and motor deficits in both hands that make fastening buckles, working snaps, and getting the crown piece over the ears very difficult. I’m sure the RA folks face some of the same challenges–different disease.
I’ve combed this site for ideas and have ordered the deeply discounted and sadly, discontinued Okanegan Bay velcro halters:

Has anyone seen or experimented with Velcro for bridle parts (buckles, etc.) I’m so slow with fasteners–the horse is patient but I’d like to find tack or make adjustments to existing gear to help me do the mundane chores.
Suggestions? Worked? Didn’t work?
Many thanks,
SEC
