Waldhausen Economic Lunging Halter for Horses
Description
Waldhausen Economic Lunging Halter - Light, Padded Nylon Lunge Cavesson
The Waldhausen Economic Lunging Halter is a lightweight, hard-wearing lunging halter made from nylon, with soft padding at the sensitive bridge of the nose. It is designed for riders, grooms and yards who lunge, long-rein or work horses and ponies in hand and want a simple, durable piece of everyday schooling kit.
Best for owners who lunge regularly and want a no-fuss cavesson that wipes clean, rather than a heavier leather lunging cavesson kept for showing.

How to Use
- Measure your horse against a well-fitting headcollar or cavesson and choose the matching pony, cob or full size.
- Fit the halter so the padded noseband sits below the cheekbone and above the soft part of the nose.
- Adjust the cheek and throat fastenings so you can slide two fingers underneath comfortably.
- Clip the lunge line to the central front fitting and check the halter sits level before you begin.
- Work evenly on both reins, then remove the halter and brush or wipe it down before storing.
FAQ
What is the Waldhausen Economic Lunging Halter made from?
It is made from nylon, which keeps it light and hard-wearing, with soft padding at the bridge of the nose.
Can I use it as an everyday headcollar?
It is designed as a lunging halter for schooling, long-reining and groundwork. Many owners keep a separate headcollar for turnout and leading.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your horse against a headcollar or cavesson that already fits well and compare it with the pony, cob and full sizes. Sizing that is too large will slip on the circle, while too small will sit on the soft part of the nose.
Is the padding suitable for a sensitive horse?
The noseband is softly padded at the bridge of the nose, which is the area that takes most pressure when a horse leans or turns on the lunge.
How do I clean it?
Brush off dried mud, wipe the nylon with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat. Check stitching and fittings before each session.
Is it suitable for a youngster?
Yes, provided the size fits correctly. It is often used for early lunging and in-hand work, always under experienced supervision.
