Which halter suits your horse?
A good halter is essential for any horse's equipment. But how do you know which halter is best for your horse? There are countless options – from nylon to leather, from pony to full. In this blog post, we'll explain what to consider when choosing a halter.
1. The right size
A halter should fit snugly, without being too tight or too loose. The most common sizes are:
-
Pony
-
Cob (suitable for smaller horses or large ponies)
-
Full (for the larger horses)
At MTB Equestrian you will find leather halters that are adjustable on both sides, so you can always create a perfect fit.
2. The material
-
Nylon : lightweight, often affordable, but can chafe with heavy use.
-
Leather : luxurious appearance, durable, supple, and comfortable for the horse. A leather halter also conforms to the shape of the horse's head over time.
If you choose leather, you choose a halter that is not only stylish, but will also last for years if properly maintained.
3. Comfort for horse and rider
A good halter distributes pressure evenly and ensures your horse feels comfortable. At MTB Equestrian, we add design to that: unique color combinations, luxurious finishes, and a fit that's both practical and stylish.
4. Stylish combinations
Nowadays, halters are not only functional but also a way to make your horse shine. Our leather polo halters offer endless combinations, and we even have matching dog collars and foal halters available.
Conclusion
The perfect halter for your horse depends on size, material, and comfort. If you're looking for quality and a luxurious look, a leather halter from MTB Equestrian is the best choice. This way, you can be sure your horse will shine, every single day.
