horse

When I first got into horse care, I’ll be honest: it was overwhelming. From saddles and feed to farrier schedules, it felt like there was always something I didn’t know yet. And for some reason, the humble halter tripped me up more than I expected. Should it be leather or nylon? Rope or padded? Breakaway or solid? Fast forward a few years (and a few halter mishaps later), and I’ve finally learned what really matters.

So if you’re looking to level up your horse care game or avoid the rookie mistakes I made, here’s my take on finding the right horse halter for comfort, durability, and peace of mind. Whether you’re wrangling a Percheron, leading a show pony, or anything in between, a well-chosen halter makes every daily task that little bit easier.
