Why Leather Halters Don't Rub on Horses

Why Leather Halters Don't Rub on Horses

Leather halters have been a favorite of many horse lovers for generations. But why do so many people swear by leather, especially when it comes to their horse's comfort? One of the main reasons: leather doesn't chafe when used and cared for properly.

The Benefits of Learning in a Row

• Natural material, natural softness
  Leather is a natural product. This means it becomes supple, conforms to the horse's head, and feels soft against the skin. No synthetic stiffness or hard edges!

• Breathability
  Leather breathes. It prevents sweat and heat from being trapped, keeping the horse's skin healthy. This reduces the risk of irritation, chafing, or wounds.

• Custom fit
  A leather halter conforms to the shape of the horse's head over time. This prevents pressure points and ensures optimal pressure distribution.

• Quality and sustainability
  When properly cared for, high-quality leather remains beautiful, supple, and strong for years. This prevents fraying, hard spots, and uncomfortable seams.

But… Be careful!

Even the best leather requires proper maintenance.

• Keep your halter supple by cleaning and greasing it regularly.

• Do not allow leather to dry out (it will become stiff and may chafe or crack)

• Always check for sand or dirt in the seams, because that will rub, no matter what material you have
