Styles of Leather Halter
Most leather halters have a buckled headpiece, an adjustable noseband and brass or stainless fittings.
- Padded halters add a soft lining on the nose and poll.
- Show halters feature fancy stitching, braid or rolled leather.
- Grooming halters leave the face clear for clipping and washing.
- Anatomic halters have a shaped headpiece that sits behind the ears.
Fitting Tips
The noseband should sit two fingers below the cheekbone, with room for two fingers between the noseband and the face. Check the throat latch allows the horse to flex comfortably.
Caring for Leather
Clean off sweat and dust and condition regularly so the leather stays supple. Products are in leather care. Check stitching near the buckles and replace a worn halter before it fails.
Leads and Other Halters
Pair your halter with a cotton or leather lead from lead ropes. For groundwork see rope halters. Matching leather tack is in horse bridles, and show turnout extras in show preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a leather halter safer than nylon?
Leather is strong but will usually break before a horse is badly hurt if it gets caught or pulls back hard, whereas nylon can hold. That is why leather halters are often chosen for tying up and travelling. Some nylon halters add a leather breakaway headpiece for the same reason.
How do I look after a leather halter?
Wipe off sweat and dirt after use, let the halter dry naturally away from heaters, then apply a leather conditioner so it stays supple. Avoid leaving it in the paddock in wet weather. Check stitching and buckle holes regularly and replace any part that shows cracking.
What size leather halter should I buy?
Leather halters are sized pony, cob, full and sometimes extra full, but brands vary. Measure from one corner of the mouth, over the poll, to the other side and compare with the size guide. Warmbloods often need full or extra full, while Arabs and fine horses may suit cob.
