What is a horse halter used for?

A halter is what you use to catch, lead, tie, or handle a horse. It’s essential for everyday tasks like grooming, vet checks, and groundwork—basically anytime you need to safely work with your horse from the ground.

What are the different types of horse halters?

The different types of horse halters are show halters, grooming halters, shipping halters, and leather and nylon halters.

How do I put a halter on a horse?

Put on a horse halter by first unbuckling it attaching the lead rope to it. Start on the left side and slowly guide the halter's nosepiece over your horse's muzzle, then pull the headstall over and behind his ears. It may help to use your right hand to gently guide your horse's head toward you so he doesn't pull away. Then, secure the halter using the attached fasteners. Be sure to calm and soothe your horse throughout the process and proceed slowly to avoid spooking him. Some people like to begin by looping the lead line loosely around the horse's neck for better control.

What size halter does my horse need?

Take your horse’s measurements to know what size halter they need. Measure the circumference of your horse’s nose (right beneath their cheekbones), the distance between their cheekbone and poll (the area right behind their ears), and the distance from one cheekbone up to their poll, and back down to the other cheek. Compare these measurements to the size guides provided with each halter. Typical sizes include Foal, Weanling, Yearling, Pony, Horse (Average), Cob, Warmblood, and Draft.

How should a horse halter fit?

A horse halter should fit securely, but not so tightly that it’s uncomfortable or painful for horses. As a general rule, you should be able to slide two or three fingers beneath the noseband of a horse halter, and the halter should be able to slip on and off easily.

Are rope or nylon halters better?

Rope or nylon halters are better depending on what you’re using them for and your individual horse. Riders prefer rope halters for training because they’re thinner and offer more subtle control. Nylon halters are preferred for everyday use because they can be more comfortable and breakaway halters are designed to break when a horse gets caught on something.
