Prevent escape artists from removing their halter and muzzle with the GG Equine Premium Breakaway Safety Halter! With a safety leather crown that will break under force, our halter is made from high-quality, soft-to-the-touch nylon with a felt-padded noseband and crown. The GG halter is specifically designed for use with the GreenGuard Grazing Muzzle, but 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 throat latch 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.
I live in Kentucky and have a mustang—already a recipe for disaster come springtime in the bluegrass. He is quite the Houdini, and green guard muzzles plus the neck strap have been the only thing to consistently stay on his head while also being limiting enough to keep him from foundering! Absolutely worth the price!
The front strap is great, my horse has yet to pull the muzzle over his nose. He does, however, have rubs across the bridge of his nose and where the side pieces and buckles touch his face. It would be really nice one day to have something that doesn’t cause rubs. I’ve put fleece on the parts of the halter that rub, time will tell whether it helps or not. Other than that the design is great and material is great quality. For reference my horse stays in his muzzle overnight, usually for about 12-14 hours at a time.
Not long ago I purchased a halter but I needed one that could connect you a muzzle! Unfortunately our 7 year old quarter horse was putting on a little more weight than he should! He had a hoof issue and the vet said he should lose about 200lbs! He's been living the high life and our farrier, who use to be a champion barrel racer, told us our front pasture was way too rich for him. And to complicate matters, he had a small vertical Crack in one of his front hooves! Long story shorter we had to get a muzzle on him!to slow his eating. We got a muzzle to go with the harness! Bottom line, we couldn't get him to wear it and attempting was too stressful. GG allowed us to return the harness and the muzzle, no questions asked! Definitely a 5 star experience!
The halter is a game changer. The only think my mare doesn’t like is the “halter forelock hair”. The front strap messes up “her look”. I’ve been telling her that a svelte body will attract more geldings than a pretty forelock.
All kidding aside, the halter fits perfectly and is easy to use.
Very well made and keeps the grazing muzzle where it belongs!
