Q: How long will it take to receive my custom halter?
A: Each custom leather halter is handcrafted to your specific requests, so please allow about three weeks for delivery. We promise it will be worth the wait!
Q: What kind of hardware is used on the halter?
A: We use only premium plated hardware in your selected finish to ensure durability and style.
Q: What is a turnout horse halter used for?
A: A turnout halter is specially designed for your horse to wear while enjoying their time in the pasture or paddock. It's made to be durable and practical, allowing you to easily catch or handle your horse whenever the need arises.
Q: How do I measure my horse for a halter?
A: For the best fit, it's a good idea to take a few measurements. Start from the poll (just behind the ears), go down the cheek, over the nose, and up to the other side. Our adjustable chin option gives you a little more wiggle room, but you can also refer to standard halter sizing guides for detailed instructions.
Q: How should I care for my leather halter?
A: To keep your leather halter looking great for years to come, we recommend regular cleaning using a quality leather cleaner and conditioner like Perri’s Potion to maintain the leather’s suppleness and prevent any drying or cracking. Make sure to store it in a dry area away from direct sunlight to prolong its life.
Q: What is the difference between a snap and a no-snap design?
A: A snap design features a quick-release snap at the throat latch, making it super easy to put on and take off your horse. On the other hand, a no-snap design requires you to buckle the throat latch, giving a more traditional feel which some find more secure for turnout, as there are no moving parts that could accidentally come undone. It truly depends on whether you prefer convenience or a classic appearance.
Q: What are the benefits of an adjustable versus a fixed chin?
A: An adjustable chin offers flexibility in fitting various horse shapes or can accommodate growing horses, providing more room for adjustments. Conversely, a fixed chin gives a clean, streamlined look and, once fitted correctly, offers a very stable and consistent fit.
Q: What hardware finishes are available?
A: While our specific finishes may vary, you can typically choose from common premium plated hardware options like brass, chrome, or stainless steel during the customization process. You're sure to find one that matches your preferences!
Q: Is this halter suitable for all horse breeds?
A: Our halters are crafted keeping general horse anatomy in mind, and our customizable chin fit options help accommodate a wide range of breeds. However, if your horse has an exceptionally uncommon conformation, it may be helpful to consult with us to ensure the perfect fit.
