Waldhausen Padded Halter for Mini Shetland Ponies
Description
Waldhausen Padded Halter for Mini Shetland Ponies
The Waldhausen Halter for Mini Shetties is a soft padded, multi-adjustable headcollar made specifically in a mini Shetland size. It is best for owners of miniature Shetlands, foals and very small youngsters who find standard pony headcollars far too big for everyday leading, tying up and grooming.
Because the halter adjusts at several points, the noseband and headpiece can be set to suit an individual head shape rather than relying on one fixed fit. That makes it a practical choice for growing youngsters and for fine-headed miniatures. Browse more headcollars and lead ropes to match your yard kit.

How to Use
- Measure around the nose roughly two to three fingers below the cheekbone, then measure the length from behind the ears down each cheek.
- Open the adjustment points fully and slip the noseband over the muzzle.
- Fasten the headpiece behind the ears so it sits flat and clear of the base of the ears.
- Adjust the noseband so it sits well clear of the soft part of the nostrils, with room for two fingers underneath.
- Check all buckles are fully seated before leading, and remove the halter when the pony is unsupervised.
FAQ
What size pony is this halter for?
It is made in a mini Shetland size, intended for miniature Shetlands, foals and very small youngsters. It is smaller than a standard pony headcollar.
Will it fit a standard pony or cob?
No. If your pony has a full pony, cob or horse-sized head, choose a larger headcollar size instead, as this one is cut for miniatures.
How adjustable is it?
The halter is multi-adjustable, so the noseband and headpiece can be altered to suit an individual head shape and to allow for a youngster growing.
Is the padding comfortable for daily handling?
Yes. The soft padding is there to keep pressure comfortable during routine leading, tying up and grooming.
How should I care for it?
Wipe clean after muddy use and dry naturally away from direct heat. Check stitching, buckles and fittings regularly and replace the halter if any part shows wear.
Can it be left on in the field?
A halter should not be left on a pony turned out or stabled without supervision.
