Prevent escape artists from removing their halter and muzzle with the GG Equine Premium Breakaway Safety Halter! Made from high-quality, soft-to-the-touch nylon with a felt-padded noseband and breakaway leather crown, the GG halter is specifically designed for use with the GreenGuard Grazing Muzzle. It can also be used with any type of muzzle that attaches to a halter. The center face strap stabilizes the halter and can be removed if desired, and the front ring on the noseband provides a spot for attaching the front muzzle strap. The unique throatlatch is super adjustable to fit many different head shapes, helping to keep the halter on even the trickiest "houdini." Made in the USA.

FAQs
GG vs Standard Halters
Why did we go to the trouble of developing and designing our own halters? Because we want horses to be as comfortable as possible in them. This video outlines what sets our halter apart from traditional ones.

What Part of the Halter is Breakaway?
The leather crownpiece is an essential part of the GG Equine Premium Breakaway Halter.
Made with real leather and lined underneath with felted wool, the crownpiece is designed to break away at around 100 lbs of pressure in the event your horse, pony, or donkey gets caught on something.
In the event that happens, we sell a leather crown replacement to get your horse back into the pasture safely.
Attach a GG Halter to a GreenGuard Muzzle
We designed and developed the GG Equine Premium Halter specifically for use with the GreenGuard Grazing Muzzle. Here are step-by-step instructions to attaching the muzzle to the halter most effficiently.
Using Tape to Prevent Halter Rubs
Even horses that don't have sensitive skin can develop rubs and bald spots from halters making contact with their faces over long periods of time. A roll of Gorilla Tape can make a big difference in mitigating or preventing halter rubs.
How to Handle Jaw Rubs
Sometimes the buckle, straps, or even the rear part of the muzzle can dig in behind a horse's jaw and cause rubbing.
This video outlines all the adjustments you can make to minimize or even prevent rubs under the jaw and behind the chin.

Can My Horse Use His Own Halter?
The GG Breakaway Halter is designed to keep escape artists from wriggling out of their halters and muzzles.
If your horse has a halter that they are comfortable in, rest easy! We have tips and tricks for adapting any halter with the GreenGuard muzzle.
Still Escaping? Try a Neck Strap or Second Throat Latch.
If your horse has a talent or a gift for pulling the halter over his head, we have a number of ideas, including using a neck strap to anchor the halter. Adding a second throat latch is another great way to prevent halter removal.
Making Mid-Season Adjustments
Spring and Summer are a long time for horse to wear a halter and muzzle combo. Time, wear, and weather pull and stretch things, especially leather. Here are some important adjustments to make as the season wears on so your horse doesn't accidentally slip out and eat the entire pasture.
Remove or Replace the Halter Clip
Need to replace the halter clip or don't like which way it is facing? You're not alone, so we made this guide to removing and/or replacing the halter clip on your horse's GG Premium Halter. Keep in mind that most safety organizations recommend that the clip opening face the horse, so it doesn’t get caught on things.
He does not mind it because he does not turn away from me when I put his muzzle on. Of course I drop an apple cut in quarters in first.
Came home to find him muzzleless one time. Found the GG hanging in the alleyway. My neighbor had come to feed him watermelon so had taken it off!!
Marty! Some folks see a farm animal and immediately act like they're in a petting zoo! We've had customers put up signs, alerting passers-by that interfering with muzzled horses can have serious health consequences. We hope it doesn't come to that for you and your precious guy! We're grateful that the muzzle and the halter have proven their worth, and that your horse is tolerating it well. Please reach out to support@gg-equine.com if you or he ever have any questions!
This safety halter is a must for use with the GG Grazing Muzzle. It is comfortable for our Haflinger, keeps the muzzle on and is made for the attachment of the Grazing Muzzle.

This is the best halter for a horse or pony who has figured out how to get out of a standard grazing muzzle set up. With lots of adjustments, you can get a good fit. My pony could get out of every other grazing muzzle so this was a great find. Excellent customer support will help you get the right size. Their muzzles and halters are made very well and we could not happier.

Sally, thank you so much! We designed the GG Equine Premium Breakaway Halter in house, so we get extra perky when someone goes out of their way to praise it! Please let us know if you ever have any questions or concerns and stay in touch about how the halter holds up for y'all over time! We're always working to improve our stable of products and all feedback is welcome.
I should've bought this out there when I bought the muzzle last year it makes a huge difference especially with my boy who is a Houdini when it comes to getting the muzzle off
Leigh, thank you for posting a review and a photo with it. He is such a handsome guy and that blue muzzle really suits him. We're so glad you're loving the GG halter. We designed it ourselves in house, specifically to keep crafty ponies from sneaking out of their muzzles. We worked very hard on that design and on tweaking and making adjustments and improvements over the past few years, so we always beam a little bit when someone singles the halter out for recognition. Please keep in touch and let us know how you and your horse get on with the muzzle and halter!
