important nerve pathways on the horse's head run very close to the surface in some places? Excessive or poorly distributed pressure can therefore be significantly more uncomfortable than one might assume from the outside. This is precisely why a correct fit and softly padded contact areas on a halter are not just a matter of appearance, but also of comfort.

What is the difference between this sheepskin halter and an unpadded leather halter?

Both offer the stability and high-quality look of genuine leather. However, the sheepskin halter features additional soft padding on sensitive contact areas. This results in less direct friction on the horse's head, which can be particularly comfortable during longer periods of wear, such as during transport.

Can a sheepskin halter prevent rubbing?

The soft padding can significantly reduce friction and thereby help to avoid rubbing and hair loss. However, a correctly adjusted halter remains crucial, as even a padded model can cause pressure if the size is wrong or the fit is too tight.

How should a sheepskin halter fit properly?

The noseband should lie on the sturdy part of the nasal bone below the cheekbone and should not be fastened too low. At the same time, the halter must neither press against the horse nor be so loose that it slips excessively.

Why is padding at the poll beneficial?

Sensitive structures run close under the skin in the poll area. A soft layer distributes the resulting pressure over a larger surface area and prevents narrow leather edges from pressing into specific points.

Is a sheepskin halter suitable for longer journeys?

Yes, especially during transport, the additional padding can be comfortable since the halter is worn for an extended period. It is important that it is adjusted correctly and that your horse is tied up safely or secured according to the specific transport situation.

Is a sheepskin halter also useful in summer, or does it get too warm underneath?

The padding can also be useful in summer, especially for horses sensitive to rubbing. After heavy sweating, however, you should dry and clean the halter and the sheepskin areas so that moisture and dirt do not permanently accumulate in the padding.

• Use only as intended as a leading and restraining device for horses.
• Before each use, check for material fatigue, cracks, loose seams, damaged straps, or defective fittings.
• Do not continue to use the halter if it is damaged or shows significant signs of wear.
• Do not use unsupervised in the stable or pasture – risk of strangulation.
• Regularly check the fit to avoid pressure points or chafing.
• Do not fasten too tightly – ensure sufficient freedom of movement in the poll and nose area.
• Replace defective metal parts (e.g., carabiners, buckles, rings) immediately.
• Do not perform unauthorized repairs or modifications.
• Do not store near open flames, heat sources, or chemical substances.
• In case of heavy soiling or moisture, clean and allow to dry completely before using the halter again.
• Clean only with suitable cleaning agents; do not use bleach or solvents.
