Every manufacturer seems to have their idea of what &quot;Horse,&quot; &quot;Cob,&quot; &quot;Pony,&quot; and so on mean! We&#x2019;ve provided the diagrams below to help you accurately determine what size GG Halter your equine needs.&#xA0; <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our halters are designed to fit longer than a traditional halter and more snugly around the small part of their neck rather than loose across their cheekbone. This helps keep them from removing the halter over their head. For this reason, we recommend measuring your horse, even if your horse typically wears a specific size in other brands. If you have a halter Houdini, having a long enough cheekpiece to get the ideal fit behind the jaw is very important. There&apos;s a good chance your halter will seem really big when you receive it but fear not! It is very adjustable, and our team is here to help get everything fitting just right for ideal removal prevention. <img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/rkene/hc/g6w6/halter%20sizing-885f7f5a-cc67-4d08-9504-ccf0e30da38c.png" style="width: 524px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> Taking MeasurementsCheek -&#xA0;Measure the distance from their prominent cheekbone back behind their jaw (blue dotted line)&#xA0;Nose -&#xA0;Find the point that is about halfway between their nostrils and their prominent cheekbone and measure around their nose (pink line) <span id="isPasted" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#0000ff;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/rkene/hc/g6w6/7eb82161-91e1-4dfc-95dd-91a9652bfe30-0db48cb3-fd0e-40f1-947a-1c50904794e8.png" width="374" class="fr-fic fr-dii" style="width: 304px; height: 267.593px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have you already purchased your halter and are looking for a &#x201C;quick fit check?&quot; Check out this video when you&#x2019;re with your horse to ensure you have the correct size and fit!&#xA0;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7tXcBZMfW4" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration:none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(140, 187, 60); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Quick Fit and Adjustment Check</a> <span id="isPasted" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#1155cc;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/rkene/hc/g6w6/7b43fca7-e629-47c2-8d31-63302fd0aad6-c6107fb6-4f38-41ed-a320-fdc8533e0aba.png" width="372" class="fr-fic fr-dii" style="width: 362px; height: 268px;">

However, many horses do just fine in the muzzle as it comes. We are always happy to look at your setup and help troubleshoot if needed to help your horse succeed in any halter. <span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Benefits of the GG Premium Halter Our halter adjusts slightly differently, making it more challenging for them to remove. We have learned that the best way to keep halters on Horses is to have a halter that fits further behind their jaw and cheekbone where a cribbing collar would go. It is critical to get it adjusted snugly enough so it can&apos;t be removed over their jaw area without also being uncomfortable or dangerous. Our newer halters are updated with an adjustable throat latch and a longer cheekpiece to allow this fit; however, we have many options to help solve escape artist issues with a regular halter, like adding a neck strap or a second throat latch. We have video links with both of these strategies below. <span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ideal Halter Fit:<span id="isPasted" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/rkene/hc/g6w6/45311c35-9345-49e8-b6c2-44cce35035aa-5f55ab06-2b66-426d-a7ca-49348639dfa5.png" width="624" class="fr-fic fr-dii" style="width: 534px; height: 390.498px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Videos:&#xA0;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGVyaNl3qqQ&amp;t=3s" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration:none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; color: rgb(140, 187, 60); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">GG Halter Benefits &amp; setup&#xA0;</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86RcSJDac0E&amp;t=5s" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration:none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; color: rgb(140, 187, 60); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Using a Neck strap</a><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(140, 187, 60); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">&#xA0;&#xA0;<span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">(We recommend watching beyond the 6 minute mark for our favorite &amp; safest way to attach these)<a href="https://youtu.be/nvd5qWzg_zU" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration:none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; color: rgb(140, 187, 60); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Adding a Second Throat Latch</a> <span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Products:<a href="https://www.gg-equine.com/collections/all-products/products/neck-strap-for-greenguard-halter" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration:none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; color: rgb(140, 187, 60); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Neck strap</a><a href="https://www.gg-equine.com/collections/all-products/products/greenguard-grazing-muzzle-replacement-strap-pair" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration:none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; color: rgb(140, 187, 60); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Replacement straps</a><a href="https://www.gg-equine.com/collections/all-products/products/leather-breakaway-replacement" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration:none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(140, 187, 60); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Leather breakaway</a>

Use a sticky roller to remove hair. Clean the leather just like any other leather product. We don&apos;t recommend deep leather conditioning because it could cause the leather to stretch out.
