No rub/padded halters?

New Topic

• samsara Posted : 7/16/2009 9:27:56 AM Do they work?  I think I like the idea of the neoprene best... I can just see a fleece one getting covered in dirt and ouchy stuff.  The nearest dedicated tack shop is about 2 hours away so I'll be ordering online which I hate bc I'm one of those people that likes to touch everything before I buy it.  Anyone have one?  what kind is it and how do you like it?

• mickeyhorseluver Posted : 7/17/2009 11:30:55 PM Well I have one that I think is neoprene, and it did work for a little while, but i think it's just the same as nylon halters personally.  So I would rather go with the nylon halters.  I agree with you not wanting fleece, I would be so scared to use it, because I know it would get DIRTY lol.  So thats my take, I personally don't think it's really worth the extra cash, but I'm one that likes to save every last penny.

• hunterseat Posted : 8/16/2009 1:27:19 PM I ordered some padded webbed halters when I first got my horses.  They were VERY inexpensive and I got what I paid for.   I don't leave halters on my horses so they really don't get a chance to rub anyway.  Plus I use rope a lot nowdays. I DO want to get some leather ones, however.  I want to start using head bumpers in the trailer - just bought 2.  I have a couple of web halters but...

They're here! Well, according to UPS they're here.  Too bad I'm stuck at work until 10 and won't be able to try them out til tomorrow.  I&nbsplaced a pretty big order so I am VERY excited to get home and play with my new things!  LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• hunterseat Posted : 8/28/2009 2:29:07 AM OH!  Let us know!  Wanted to say I used my head bumper on Zag in a flat halter and the therapist met us at the stable where we'd trailered for a lesson.  She was working on Zag and I didn't have a rope halter with me and that buzzard was SO bad!!!  He'd barely listen to me!  UGH!  No more flat halter.  But I DO like the head bumper.

• samsara Posted : 8/28/2009 8:53:41 PM Well, they're here and I like them but I haven't gotten out to try them on him.  I'm a bit concerned they might be too big... I bought the oversized ones because Reidar has such a big fat head but now I am wondering if they might be too big.  I really like the padding in them, it's not very thick and it's much softer than I anticipated.  I think it's neoprene... very squishy.  The leather one is a bit stiff and hard to buckle but it seems to be good quality leather and I think it should soften up a little over time. We'll try them out this weekend and I'll post pics. LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• samsara Posted : 9/1/2009 2:58:28 AM They fit!  I'm so happy!  The leather one needs some conditioning I think as it is still quite stiff and doesn't lay quite right on his face.  The green one lays a bit lopsided too.  But they fit LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
