Great value
I bought this for my mare who always had the hand me downs from my other horses... it's very elegant looking for an every day halter and I am pleased with the fit and quality. My only negative comment was that I wish the rolled throat latch was a bit thinner.

Great for the Price
I bought this halter after realizing I didn't have a nicer one to use in an upcoming photoshoot. I had bought other leather halters from SmartPak in the past and been happy with them, however I didn't like that most of them if I wanted black leather was going to get nickel hardware so I loved that this halter features brass hardware with the black leather. Compared to other SmartPak leather goods, I'd say this was a little more on the stiff side out of the box but is slowly taking shape. I can't speak for the durability yet as this is mainly a show/fancy halter for us not a day-to-day, but I'm happy with it for what I paid.

Great halter overall
I would say this is a decent overall
Leather halter. It is pretty flexible, and feels like it will hold up well with general use. It runs true to size, and again has a good overall feel.

Looks awful within months
I bought this halter for my horse to wear at shows ONLY, and it lasted less than 4 shows. The dark brown leather has spots where it faded off (where the leather touches other parts) and it already looks awful. Super dissapointed with the quality.

Looks aren’t everything
This is a very pretty halter but unfortunately the quality or durability aren’t on the same level. I purchased this halter less than a 2 weeks ago and the chin strap has broken off already. Super disappointing that I spent the money on this plus adding a name plate to have an unusable halter in less than a month.

You get what you pay for - which is a cheap halter
Out of the box, I was skeptical because the halter looked cheap. It also looked huge, even though two sales people assured me that the full size would be good for my horse. Eyeballing it, I can tell it’s going to be way too big. On top of that, the halter I received had cuts and scrapes all over the leather. The nose band in particular had deep cups into the leather, but there was damage all around the halter. They also forgot to include something I ordered in the shipment, so now I have to go to Dover to pick it up because it was ordered specifically for a show this weekend, in four days.
I don’t often use SmartPak, and after this experience, I definitely will not order from their website again.

Ready to Wear
I bought this halter last minute for a photo shoot. I was very happy with the fit and quality right out of the box. My boy didn't get a rub or act like it bothered him at all even though there wasn't time to break it in. Plus it looked great!

Poor Quality
I took the halter out of the box today and noticed the leather has white residue left on it, and the brass fittings are stained, tarnished, and just plain dirty. I can scrape gunk off of them with my fingernails.

extremely high quality
I bought this halter to go with the Plymouth leather lead to use for showmanship. right out of the box the leather was soft and supple and felt amazing. I wasn't expecting much since its so cheap but I was pleasantly surprised. the only issue I have had was that when I took this out of the box there was a small amount of glue or something on the noseband over the fancy stitching, I put some water on it and it peeled right off. the brass pieces also weren't as high quality as I was expecting. there are some spots that have dye from the leather or something that I can't get off. overall I would recommend this to anyone who wants a cheap and high quality halter for any use. I also should mention that I ordered this in a size cob for my large pony and I found that it ran a bit large. it is on all the top holes and fits but if you are in-between sizes I would recommend sizing down.

Really glad I bought this halter
I've had this halter for about a year now and it is still in great shape. I clean and oil it regularly and I expect it to last a long time. I love that the brass fittings are solid brass, not plated metal that rusts like cheaper halters.

Lovely Halter
Love this halter for my new TB. It looks and feels like it is much more expensive than it is. Teddy looks fabulous and the engraved nameplate just adds to it! It appears to be very well made. With all the adjustments allowed, it was easy to get a perfect fit for my growing boy.

Wanted to love it
I bought this halter as a cheap alternative for a young horse that I still wanted a nice look for. Right out of the box it looked like a great option for the price although you can tell it’s not the best leather. One day in and I noticed that the throat latch had moved from its original place and bright red marks were underneath. I tried oiling it to a darker shade to match with no success. Fast forward two weeks and the halter that lives in an air conditioned tack room looks cheap. ANY mark made on the leather takes off the nice chocolate brown and uncovers an unnatural red/orange that can’t be fixed.

Very nice halter!
I was very impressed by the leather quality especially at this price point! It comes out of the box buttery soft and all the details are very nice. The size chart provided is accurate and helpful...for those wondering, I have a QH mare who’s always in between cob and horse size and I’m glad I ordered the cob, so if I had to choose I’d say it runs a touch on the large size but nothing crazy. Definitely a lovely halter!

High-quality, strong and supple
I really like this halter. The brass fittings seem to be genuine solid brass, and the leather is strong and high-quality. This sounds funny, but I love the way it smells! The padded crown and noseband are very nice. My horse is hard to size so I bought an oversize at first, but it was too big and the full just fits. SmartPak was terrific at letting me send back the old one and replacing it very quickly.

Love this halter!!
I bought this halter for shows and just because I wanted a nice halter. I am beyond impressed with the quality for the price. I got a nameplate as well and it turned out amazing!! The halter fits great, very adjustable ( I got a cob size for Reisling, a 15.2hh Anglo-Arab). I love the stitching and the padding, overall I recommend 100%!!

Stunning color!
I was worried that the purple of the halter would either be too light or way too bright for a show, but it is truly a beautiful shade. I had the halter come with a nameplate that was engraved perfectly.

Not a bad halter for the price
This was bought on sale for an Arabian gelding with a petite head. I choose the cob size and with all the correct holes it fits him perfectly. This will be used for everyday wear and I believe it will hold up to it.

Beautiful Halter
I absolutely love this halter! I purchased the black one and had it personalized for my mare. You can't beat the price and the quality of leather exceeded what I expected. It's a little stiff but very soft, I just spent a little time working the leather and it's perfect. I love the soft padding on the crown and noseband, very nice!
My first halter came in with the engraving slightly off but SmartPaks amazing customer service came through and replaced it free of charge, no issues what so ever. I can't speak enough about how wonderful their customer service is and how helpful the staff are.
I definitely recommend this halter, I have received compliments from my vet, farrier and fellow boarders on how nice it is and when I tell them it's from SmartPak and price they can't believe I didn't pay at least twice as much for it!

AMAZING QUALITY
I bought this halter a few weeks ago and it fits perfectly, the leather is great quiality, and the engraving looks phenomenal. I love how it has padding on the noseband and the part that goes behind the ears. It also has amazing detail and the hardware is sturdy. The quality of the halter is totally worth the price!

Very nice, high quality halter that is strong!
Beautiful halter with very nice padding, soft supple leather. Cob size fit my Arab gelding perfectly and when he spooked and tried to pull away from being tied, the halter held (unlike his last halter that broke). I will be purchasing again.

Amazing quality for the price
This halter is gorgeous! I bought it after my other leather halter broke and i was shocked at the quality! The leather is very soft and supple right out of the box. Like everyone has been saying it does fit a bit strange (this in a cob size fits the same as my last leather halter in a full) but nothing a size down can’t fix. Looks great at shows and at the barn. I also use it when lunging and it’s held up very well. Love the padding and the fancy stitching, and it looks great with a name plate!

This is a beautiful halter and it is really nice quality. I wouldn't change anything but the small scratch that it came with on the noseband. Otherwise it's the perfect halter, and I think my horse loves it too!

Beautiful Halter, but has weak keepers!
I purchased 2 of these in the past year or so. I can say the leather is very soft, beautiful and supple right out of the box and they look wonderful with the name plate option. However, the nose band keeper broke on both which causes the halter to then fall off the horse as the buckle no longer stays closed. This halter will hold up nicely for light use for shows etc, but does not hold up for any kind of turnout, trailering, etc.
