Waldhausen Cozy Fur-Covered Halter for Horses
Description
Waldhausen Cozy Halter - Soft Fur Comfort for Sensitive Horses
The Waldhausen Cozy Halter is a belt-design headcollar that is fully covered with soft synthetic fur, so every strap that touches the horse's head is padded rather than bare webbing. It is best for sensitive horses, horses prone to rubbing, and any horse that travels regularly and needs a kinder headcollar for long journeys.
The headpiece adjusts on both sides, which allows the cheekpieces to be levelled and the halter balanced evenly on the head. It works equally well for leading, tying up, in-hand work, grooming and loading around the yard.
Key Features

- Adjustable on both sides of the headpiece for a balanced, even fit

How to Use
- Measure your horse's head, or compare against a headcollar that already fits well, and choose pony, cob or full accordingly.
- Undo the headpiece and slide the noseband over the nose, then pass the headpiece behind the ears.
- Fasten the buckle and adjust both sides of the headpiece so the cheekpieces sit level.
- Check the noseband sits about two fingers below the cheekbone, with room for two fingers around the nose.
- Check the throat is not tight, then attach a lead rope for leading or tying with a quick-release knot.
- After use, brush off hair and dried mud and allow the fur to dry naturally.
FAQ
What size Waldhausen Cozy Halter should I choose?
Headcollar fit varies between horses of the same height, so measure first. As a general guide, pony suits smaller natives and youngsters, cob suits most cobs and mid-sized horses, and full suits larger horses and warmbloods.
Is this halter suitable for travelling?
Yes. The full synthetic fur covering is described as particularly good for sensitive horses when being transported, where the head may rest or rub against the halter for long periods.
Will it help with headcollar rubs?
The fur covers the straps across the nose, cheeks and headpiece, which spreads pressure more evenly than bare webbing and helps reduce rub points on sensitive skin.
How does the adjustment work?
The headpiece is adjustable on both sides, so you can level the cheekpieces and balance the halter on the head rather than pulling it crooked from one side only.
How do I clean the fur?
Brush off loose hair and dried mud, sponge the fur clean and let it dry naturally away from direct heat. Check straps and fittings for wear before each use.
Can a horse be turned out in it?
Never leave a horse unattended in a headcollar in the field or stable. Use a purpose-made breakaway or field-safe headcollar for turnout.
