How to Use
- Measure your horse's current headcollar, or around the nose and from poll to nose, and choose pony, cob or full accordingly.
- Unfasten the headpiece buckle and slide the noseband over the muzzle.
- Pass the headpiece behind the ears and fasten the buckle on the near side.
- Adjust the headpiece so the noseband sits around two fingers below the cheekbone, never on soft cartilage.
- Adjust the chin strap so you can fit two fingers between the strap and the jaw.
- Clip on the matching Shine leadrope and check the fit again after the first few uses.
FAQ
What size Waldhausen Shine Halter should I buy?
Measure the headcollar your horse already wears, or take a tape around the nose and from poll to nose. Pony sizes generally suit smaller natives, cob suits chunkier cobs and smaller horses, and full suits average riding horses and warmbloods.
Is the Shine Halter adjustable?
Yes. The chin strap adjusts to several positions and the headpiece adjusts on one side, so the halter can be shaped around your horse's head.
Is it padded?
Yes, it is softly underlaid so the straps sit more comfortably against the nose and cheeks during leading and grooming.
Does it come with a lead rope?
No, the halter is supplied on its own. It is designed to match the Waldhausen Shine leadrope, which is sold separately.
Is this a breakaway headcollar?
The Shine Halter uses metal fittings and is not described as a breakaway design, so do not leave a horse unattended or turned out in it.
How do I clean it?
Wipe with a damp cloth and let it dry naturally away from direct heat. Check the stitching, buckles and metal fittings regularly and retire the halter if anything is worn.
