FAQs

What makes this halter suitable for young or small horses?

The 'Cob' size is specifically designed for horses that fall between pony and full size. Additionally, the soft lining on the noseband and headpiece provides extra comfort, which is beneficial for horses that may be more sensitive or are still growing.

How do I ensure the best fit for my horse?

Adjust the straps on both the noseband and the headpiece until the halter is snug but not tight. You should be able to comfortably slide two fingers between the halter and your horse's head. Ensure the padding lies flat without creasing.

What are the 'horse appliques'?

The 'horse appliques' are decorative elements, likely embroidered or attached patches, featuring horse designs on the halter, adding a visual touch.

Can I use any lead rope with this halter?

While any standard lead rope can be attached, Waldhausen specifically recommends their matching lead ropes 50463.. and 50442 to complete the look and ensure compatibility with the halter's fittings.

How should I clean the halter?

Clean the halter using a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and sweat. For stubborn marks, a mild soap can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth. Always allow the halter to air dry completely away from direct heat.

What material is the halter made from?

The description mentions soft lining on the noseband and headpiece, and solid shiny fittings. The primary material for the webbing is typically durable nylon or polypropylene, common for horse halters.

Troubleshooting

Halter seems too large or too small for my horse.

Verify that you have selected the correct size (Cob). Ensure all adjustable straps on the noseband and headpiece are correctly adjusted. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider if a different size (Pony or Full, if available from the manufacturer) would be more appropriate.

Fittings feel loose or stiff.

Check that the buckles are securely fastened. If the fittings feel stiff due to dirt or moisture, clean them with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid applying oil or grease, as this can attract dirt.

Horse seems uncomfortable or is rubbing.

Ensure the halter is not too tight. The padding should lie flat against the horse's skin. Re-adjust the straps to relieve any pressure points. Clean the padded areas if they have become soiled, as dirt can cause irritation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This halter requires no assembly. Simply unbuckle or loosen the adjustable straps to fit it onto your horse. Adjust the noseband and headpiece straps until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved – you should be able to fit two fingers between the halter and the horse's head. Ensure all buckles are securely fastened.

Compatibility: The "Cob" size is designed for horses typically falling between a pony and a full-sized horse, such as Irish Cobs, smaller Warmbloods, or larger ponies. It is recommended to measure your horse's head and compare it to sizing charts if available, or try it on carefully. Recommended matching lead ropes are 50463.. and 50442.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the halter, clean it regularly. Wipe the fabric and fittings with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow the halter to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
