Q: What are the benefits of using sheepskin halter covers for horses?
A: Sheepskin halter covers are wonderful because they keep your horse comfortable and help prevent chafing or rubs. The soft, plush sheepskin feels nice against your horse's skin, especially for sensitive horses or when worn for a long time. It also helps spread out pressure evenly, wicks away moisture, and keeps your horse cooler.
Q: How do I attach the 4-piece sheepskin halter cover to my horse's halter?
A: Attaching it is simple! Each piece covering the crown, nose, and the two cheek pieces has double hook-and-loop fasteners. Just wrap each piece around the corresponding part of your halter, and press the velcro together. This makes sure everything stays snug and secure.
Q: Is the sheepskin halter cover machine washable?
A: While some sheepskin products can go in the washer, we usually recommend hand washing our covers with a gentle wool-specific detergent and cool water. After washing, gently squeeze out extra water and let them air dry flat, away from direct sunlight or heat. This helps keep the sheepskin soft and prolongs its lifespan. Always check the care instructions that come with your product.
Q: What kinds of halters are these covers compatible with?
A: These 4-piece sheepskin covers are quite versatile and should fit most standard nylon, leather, or rope halters. The adjustable velcro straps let you customize the fit on different sizes and styles of halters.
Q: Can a sheepskin cover help my halter last longer?
A: Absolutely! The sheepskin acts as a protective layer, reducing friction and wear, especially around sensitive areas like the crown and noseband. This can help prevent your halter from wearing out too quickly, potentially extending its life.
