Would Anyone Know Whose Horse That Is in an Emergency?
The Schneiders Notched Halter Name Plate is solid brass with black etching — engraved with your horse's name and contact information so that in an emergency, at a busy show, or after a disaster, your horse is never just "a loose horse."
Two lines, up to 16 characters each. Attaches with Chicago screws to any 1" wide halter. Because the worst time to think about identification is after something goes wrong.
An Unmarked Halter Tells Rescuers Nothing About Your Horse
At a large show barn, on a crowded trailhead, or in the aftermath of a fire or storm, a horse without identification is a horse that's much harder to return. Well-meaning people who find a loose horse have no way to contact you, and even the most recognizable markings won't match anything in a stranger's memory during an emergency.
Microchips Help — But Only If Someone Scans Them
Microchips require a reader and a database lookup — tools that most good Samaritans and first-responders don't have in the field. A visible name plate with a phone number on the halter gets your horse home in minutes instead of days. Branded freezemarks fade over years; a solid brass plate with engraved contact information stays readable season after season.
- ✗Loose horses at busy shows create chaos without visible ID
- ✗Natural disaster evacuations leave many horses unidentified for weeks
- ✗Stall cards fall, blow away, or get mixed up in large show barns
- ✗Microchips are invisible to people who find a loose horse in the field

Solid Brass Hardware That Serves a Safety Purpose Every Single Day
The Notched Halter Name Plate measures ¾" wide by 4½" long — a proportional fit for the cheek piece of a 1" halter without adding uncomfortable bulk. The solid brass construction won't corrode or fade; the black etching contrast keeps the engraved text legible even after extended outdoor exposure.
The Chicago screw attachment system is the same hardware used on quality leather goods across the industry — it holds firmly under normal use and removes cleanly for transfer to a new halter when needed. This is the one piece of identification equipment that goes everywhere your horse's halter goes.
