Waldhausen Little Horse Halter for Horses & Ponies
Description
Waldhausen Little Horse Halter — Padded, Adjustable Everyday Headcollar
The Waldhausen Little Horse Halter is a padded headcollar decorated with horse appliques, with a softly lined noseband and headpiece and solid shiny fittings. It is best for everyday yard use — leading, grooming, tying up, turnout and in-hand work — with horses, ponies and youngsters whose owners want a comfortable halter that adjusts to fit.
Because both the noseband and the headpiece adjust, the halter can be fine-tuned rather than forced into place, which makes it a sensible choice for horses that fall between standard sizes. Browse more options in our headcollars and lead ropes collection.

- Pass the headpiece behind the ears and fasten it on the buckle.
- Adjust the headpiece so the noseband sits around two fingers below the cheekbone.

- Check nothing is twisted or pinching, then attach your lead rope to the ring under the jaw.
- Wipe clean after use and allow to dry naturally away from direct heat.
FAQ
What size Waldhausen Little Horse Halter should I choose?
Measure the noseband circumference and headpiece length of a halter your horse already wears comfortably and match it to the size chart — pony, cob and full sizes differ mainly at the nose. The adjustable noseband and headpiece then let you refine the fit.
Is this halter padded?
Yes. Both the noseband and the headpiece are softly lined, which cushions the areas that rest on the nose and behind the ears.
Can it be used for turnout?
It is designed for handling and yard use. If you turn out in a headcollar, use one with a breakaway feature and check the fit and fittings regularly, as a standard halter will not release under pressure.
Does a lead rope come with it?
No, the halter is supplied on its own. Any standard lead rope with a trigger or panic clip will attach to the ring beneath the jaw.
How do I clean it?
Wipe down with a damp cloth after use and dry naturally away from direct heat. Inspect the stitching and fittings regularly and retire the halter if anything is worn or damaged.
Is it suitable for a youngster?
Yes, provided the size is correct. The adjustment on both the noseband and headpiece is useful as a young horse's head shape changes, and the soft lining helps with horses still learning to lead.
