A head collar, also called a halter, is an essential piece of horse equipment used for handling, leading, tying, and everyday control of a horse when it is not being ridden. It fits comfortably around the horse’s head, resting over the nose, behind the ears, and along the cheeks, allowing safe guidance without pressure on the mouth.

Head collars are commonly made from durable materials such as nylon, leather, or rope, and often include adjustable straps and strong metal fittings for a secure fit. Designed for comfort and strength, a well-fitted head collar helps in grooming, loading, stable management, and general handling while ensuring the horse remains calm and controlled.
