Horse lead and halter buying guide:
Tack halters and leads are some of the most important items that horse owners and
handlers can own. Halters and leads are types of horse tack that are used on a daily
basis when caring for horses. These items make it easier for handlers to walk with
and transport horses, as well as tie horses securely to a tree or post. Although halters
and leads may seem like simple items, they are carefully constructed to serve a
specific purpose. Different materials and designs may be used to make halters and
leads. In order to choose the right type of halters and leads for a horse, shoppers
should learn what halters and leads are, what they’re used for, and learn the
differences between each type.
What Are Halters and Leads?
Halters and leads are pieces of horse tack that are used by handlers to lead or tie
up an animal. They can be made from rope, leather, or nylon, and the type that is
used depends on what the handler needs to use it for, or what the handler’s
preference is. Horse halters are often confused with bridles because they are worn
over the head and face, but halters are sturdier than bridles. Also, bridles provide
more precise control of the horse and so are used by the rider.
How Are Halters and Leads Worn?
Halters are worn on the horse’s face and head. The noseband is the lower part of the
halter that goes around the muzzle, above the corners of the mouth. The crownpiece
sits behind the ears and goes under the jaw. Two additional straps attach the
crownpieceand the nosepiece on both sides of the horse’s head. On the strap
underneath the nosepiece is a ring that is used for attaching the lead.When properly
fitted and positioned, the halter should leave enough slack around the horse’s muzzle
to allow the horse to open and close their mouth. This ensures that they can eat and
drink with ease and without the risk of developing sores from an ill-fitting halter. The
halter rings on the side of the horse’s face need to be at least two fingers below the tear
bones, which are located right below the eyes.
What Are Halters and Leads Used For?
Halters and leads are used to maintain control of the horse while the handler is on
the ground. Horse halters and leads make transporting or tying a horse easier.
Common activities in which horse halters and leads may be used are grooming,
cleaning, bathing, or shoeing. Young horses need to be trained to wear halters and
leads so they will be comfortable with wearing them. Wild or older horses can be
halter-broken, but the process will be more difficult.
Types of Leads
As with halters, there are several different types of leads for horses as well. Horse leads
should be chosen based on their length as well as the materials that they are made from.
Leads need to be strong enough and long enough to tie around trees or other objects,
but they should also be comfortable for the handler to hold. Leads are most commonly
made from cotton or nylon rope, and the most common types of leads are flat leads,
round leads, and show leads.
Flat Leads
Flat leads are usually made from a flat strip of nylon or other fabric webbing. They can
also be made from a flat strip of leather. Typically flat leads are one inch wide and have
a brass bolt snap to attach to the lead ring on the halter. Flat leads are available in
several lengths, but the average length is eight feet.
Round Leads
Round leads are also referred to as braided leads. They are made by braiding strips of
nylon or other fabric webbing together to make a long rope. The center of the braided
nylon rope has another strip of nylon that is ? inch wide. Round leads are the strongest
type of leads available, and can handle up to 3,000 pounds. They also feature a brass
bolt snap to attach to the halter. The standard length for a round lead is eight feet,
but many handlers are more comfortable with leads that are between 9-12 feet.
Show Leads
Show leads, like show halters, are more for appearances than functionality. While
they do perform the same tasks that other leads do, they are not as strong and
are not as practical for everyday use. Show leads are often made from leather and
ornamental chain. They are not recommended for use with horses that are not
halter-broken, and should not be used for tying up a horse.
