Waldhausen Slim Cut Nose Protection
The Waldhausen Nose Protection is a slim-cut guard that covers the muzzle and nose area of a horse or pony, held in place with Velcro straps. It is best for owners who want a discreet, quick-to-fit nose cover for turnout, stable time or in-hand work.
The narrow cut keeps the protector close to the face so it stays neat in use, while the hook-and-loop straps make it easy to put on and take off on a busy yard. Browse more horse accessories to complete your kit.

- Position the protector over the nose so the nostrils remain completely clear.
- Fasten the Velcro straps so they are snug but not tight - you should be able to slide a finger underneath.
- Walk the horse in-hand for a few minutes and check the protector has not slipped or rubbed.
- Remove after use, close the Velcro fastenings, and store flat or hung up.
FAQ
What is the Waldhausen Nose Protection used for?
It is a slim-cut cover that sits over the horse's muzzle and nose area, held on with Velcro straps, for use during turnout, stable time or in-hand handling.
How does it attach?
With Velcro hook-and-loop straps, which allow quick attachment and a secure hold without buckles.
Will it fit a pony as well as a horse?
The adjustable Velcro straps allow the fit to be altered, so it can suit a range of horses and ponies. Measure across your horse's nose and compare with the listed dimensions before ordering, as sizing is the most common reason for returns.
Can the horse still eat and drink while wearing it?
The slim cut is designed to sit close to the face without covering the nostrils. Always check the fit leaves the nostrils and mouth unrestricted, and supervise your horse the first few times it is worn.
How do I clean it?
Close all Velcro fastenings first so they do not catch, wash gently, rinse well and air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
How do I know when to replace it?
Check the straps and stitching regularly and replace the protector if the Velcro no longer grips securely or the fabric is damaged.
