Q: Why are there two crown pieces on your halters for foals?
A: Foals grow very quickly! Including two crown pieces (15" and 20") ensures that the halter can be adjusted to fit your foal comfortably and securely as they mature through their initial growth stages, providing a longer-lasting and better-fitting product.
Q: What is the purpose of the leather grab strap?
A: The leather grab strap provides an immediate and secure point of contact for handling your foal, especially during training, leading, or in situations where quick control is needed. It's a convenient safety feature for young, sometimes unpredictable, equines.
Q: Is this halter suitable for everyday use?
A: Yes, this halter is made for both everyday wear and to showcase your foal.
Q: How do I properly fit this foal halter?
A: A properly fitted halter for foals should be snug but not tight. You should be able to comfortably slide two fingers under all straps. It should not rub or cause pressure points. The noseband should sit approximately halfway between the horse's eyes and muzzle.
Q: How often should I clean and condition a leather halter?
A: Regular cleaning and conditioning are essential for maintaining the longevity and suppleness of a leather foal halter. For daily use, wipe down with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a good quality saddle soap and follow with a leather conditioner like Perri’s Potion every few weeks or as needed, depending on use and climate.
Q: What is Wickett & Craig?
A: Perri’s Leather makes its leather halters from Wickett & Craig, a world-renowned American tannery, established in 1867, celebrated for its premium vegetable-tanned leathers. They are one of the last remaining vegetable tanneries in the USA.
