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.
Measure Your Horse For a Halter
A full, step-by-step video tutorial on how to measure your horse for the correct size GG Equine Premium Breakaway Haltter
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 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. 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 need to make to minimize or even prevent rubs under the jaw and behind the chin.
Quick Fit Check
Only have a couple of minutes? Here's how to do a quick fit check for your horse's GG Premium Breakaway halter.
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
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.
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
Don't like which way the halter clip 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.
Customer Reviews
Halter is roomy and I have a large well built mini. I wish the leather breakaway piece was made a tiny bit sturdier/thicker.
It's certainly a delicate balance to make sure the halter's crown will breakaway and be solidly constructed, and it's one we're always trying to refine. Thanks so much for your observations, Nancy! They're very helpful as we continue to improve our tack to be both secure and safe.
I have been using this muzzle/halter combo for a few months now. I can say that both my pony and myself are very happy. It stays on, has plenty of airflow(we live in FL so that’s a must), it’s easy to clean and he can have safe, rationed grazing out with the herd. I would buy over and over again. I had the standard bucket muzzle until I researched and found GG equine and I must say this is a far superior product!
Tara, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and considered review. We are so happy to hear that you and your pony have adjusted so well to the GreenGuard muzzle and the GG Halter. We designed the halters ourselves in-house, so it is always extra gratifying when they are singled out for praise. We'd love to see a photo of your pony in their grazing kit if you get a chance! Please stay in touch and let us know if either of y'all ever need any advice or run into any questions about the muzzle or halter. We're here to support you at every step of your muzzling journey.
My 32" mini is a very hard fit and he would pull every muzzle off we tried with this halter and pony muzzle and the "diet" insert we are finally a healthy weight to manage and he doesn't get it off overnight!
Kimberly, we're overjoyed that you're finding the mini halter of such use! We designed these halters ourselves and have worked very hard on tweaks and adjustments over the past several years. We know that minis are not just smaller versions of their larger counterparts, and we have designed our halters to take their unique physiology into account. We're pleased that our mini / small pony halters comfortably accommodate a full range of smaller horses, including your own. If you ever get a chance, we'd love to see a photo of your little guy in his GG gear! Thanks so much for supporting our woman-owned small business!
I have two muzzle escape artists over here, both small ponies. Very clever. Very smart. And both are VERY determined! I tried(or so I thought ) every grazing muzzle out there. NOTHING worked! I fitted them, I re-fitted them, and I re-fitted them again. Then I would go searching in the field for what was left of the grazing muscles. Then I discovered these, and… The rest is history it’s been two months now, and these little ponies of mine have yet to figure out how to get these muzzles off, and believe me they have tried EVERYTHING ! They have tried rolling, rubbing the muzzles off against fences trees and each other… I’ve won !!! thanks GG equine , you got the job done and now I can relax.
We are over the moon to hear that you and your ponies - well, you at least; ponies always have their own opinions - have had such a great experience so far with GreenGuard muzzles. We'd love to see a photo of your little escape artists if you happen to get one! If you or they ever have any questions or issues, know that we're here to support all 3 of y'all for the life of the muzzles, so don't hesitate to reach out.
The halter and muzzle are very high quality, and the customer service is fantastic.
Thanks so much for your generous praise! We'll continue to do our best to live up to it!
