Good halter
"Schneiders padded leather halter is a great affordable halter. Comfortable and stylish. Add a nameplate and good to go"
Premier Dorchester Padded Leather Halter
Padded Comfort for a Sensitive Face
A horse with a sensitive face feels every edge of a plain leather halter. The Dorchester is generously padded across the nose and over the poll and crown in buffalo leather that's softer than cowhide, with fancy stitching across the noseband.
1
Generous Padding Across Nose, Poll and Crown
Padding where a halter presses most cushions sensitive areas and reduces rubbing, so it's comfortable every day.
2
Fancy Stitching Across the Noseband
Dressed up enough for the show barn and built for turnout, and it takes a brass nameplate.
3
Buffalo Leather, Softer Than Cowhide
1-inch stitched buffalo leather is softer than cowhide but equally durable, with solid brass hardware for durability.
4
Adjusts at Crown and Curb, Snaps at the Throat
A double adjustable crown and an adjustable curb customize the fit around the muzzle; the rolled throat snaps closed for a clean line.

Reviews
Pretty Halter
"I thought that i would try this leather halter. The stitching looked good. When it arrived, i wondered about the small snap size for the throat latch. Sure enough, the snaps spring failed after only 3 uses. The company replaced it quickly, but I expect better quality."
Dorchester halter
"My horse, Jackson,. loves this halter. I know this because he hasn't yet tried to scrape it off. Yes, it gets smeared with mud when he rolls after a Spring shower, but it cleans up nicely with Lexol. He looks handsome in it as the brown leather compliments his gleaming chestnut coat. We're happy with it!"
Great Halter!
