Cute and durable but rubs face
My gelding has worn this halter 24/7 for about a week (the barn I board at requires halters at all times). It has rubbed his cheeks and sides of his face where the hardware sits so there is no hair and will definitely lead to sores if it stays on. I normally love smartpak but this halter has been very disappointing.

Good quality for the price
This halter is a good quality for the price. I bought it to have a back up, but the color is so pretty I decided to use it now. There is a lot of room to adjust it, but I had to trim the noseband area because there was too much extra material. Cob is too small on my horse, but she does have a small nose. But, that's the reason I gave it 4 instead of a 5.

An attractive, safe halter
I use these halters because they have a generous fit, lots of adjustability, and they are safe.

Will do for an emergency halter
Quality is garbage, like so many SP branded products. If you want a cheap halter to have on hand this is fine. For everyday use, spend a few dollars more; this will fall apart in your hands. Plenty of adjustability which is nice except if you adjust the leather it crumbles.

Great quality
Pony sized tack is usually hard to find & selections are limited. I appreciate being able to find these items at a reasonable price through your company. This halter is very well made, fits comfortably & is very attractive

Good quality
I bought this a little over a year ago. It has been thoroughly abused since then by myself with two thoroughbreds and works great. I use it around the barn, out on endurance trails, and to/from fox hunts. Without giving it a whole lot of love it still looks fantastic. I have had a horse pull back on it, and I mean really sit back, without it breaking... meant to be a breakaway and that is my only concern but there was no harm done so I'm really not bothered by it. Color has not faded at all and I haven't touched the leather and it is still feeling and looking nice. Excellent quality for a great price.

Looks great, poor performance
Used one day and leather broke and clip no longer functions. Horse barely pulled back and it broke. The clip is cheaply made.

Great value
I use this halter for all of my horses daily activities. I love that it is easily adjusted to fit most of the horses in our 41 horse program.

Awesome everyday halter!
If you are looking for a Great every day altar for use around the barn, one that you don’t mind leaving outside hanging on the fence. This is it! It stands up to wear and tear and even better it’s breakaway. So if your horse occasionally does something silly like mine does, only the crownpiece will break

solved a difficult problem
I was having a great deal of trouble catching my horse. I'm keeping the break-away halter on him all the time - and feeling safe about it. Now I simple walk up to the horse put the lead rope on and were all set. This halter solved a really bad problem

Good halter; bad crown piece
This halter is nice and fits our cob sized pony well. Unfortunately the crown piece is leaving orange dye on our gray pony's head so I am searching for an alternative crown piece (thus the star deduction). I tried the padded crown piece but it is too long for our pony on the highest holes so the search continues.

Did its job—but not perfect.
I only bought this halter a few weeks ago, but it's already done for. In a very scary trailering incident, my horse went down in the trailer. Luckily, this halter did exactly what it was supposed to do—it broke; the leather strap split right in two—and my horse was able to recover, get back up, and thankfully ended up with nothing more serious than a few scrapes and bruises. However, while the leather strap could easily be replaced, the throatlatch snap also broke, so it's not really usable anymore.
A couple of additional notes on the halter before it broke: After reading that this halter runs slightly large, I ordered a cob size for my fine-boned, dainty-faced warmblood mare, and it fit pretty well. I did have one complaint about the nylon material...the bottom of the noseband (under her chin) got immediately and extremely fuzzy from normal use (hay-eating, turnout, etc). I've never had a nylon halter that got fuzzy like this, especially so quickly, in a matter of days.

Great Haler for a mini
I have a mini that is difficult to fit in a halter.... This the first halter that really fits him. He is a little rescue Palomino.

Good construction.
Solid halter that fits my mare with a large head very well. Clasp makes it easy to get on and off.

Perfect turnout halter
I have multiple of these. They are great for turnout because they are breakaway. The nylon part of the halter is pretty thick and retains its shape unlike some other halters that are flimsy. The leather crown is thin but not enough that I’d worry about it falling apart.

Great quality great price
I got one of these for my 2 year old Welsh pony and it’s a great halter. Well made, not too bulky in the pony size. Nice quality. Two thumbs up.

Fits well
I bought this to use with a grazing muzzle on my mare. She’s a Morgan and has a complicated (but very pretty) head- small muzzle/nose, deeper in the throatlatch. I was concerned about the fit of this halter after reading other reviews. She wears an ‘average horse’ in most brands, as long as the chin is adjustable, but I went with a cob size halter when I ordered. It fits great! It seemed small/ short in the crownpiece initially, but as she’s worn the halter, it has broken in and is now on the middle holes on the crown. I like the adjustable chin and variety of colors. Seems like a quality halter for the price.

Not impressed!!
I bought these a week ago, and they came in pretty quickly. I just don't feel like they are worth the money. The same exact looking boot without the BOT technology is sold somewhere else. The straps don't really fit my horse's legs correctly, and the scratch really easily. I am disappointed, and I wouldn't recommend them becasue they aren't worth the price, and I didn't notice a difference with the weltex technology.

Thought it would be sturdier. Very cheaply made. Thin material. Would not recommend unless it were about half the price I paid for it.

Insubstantial
The halter was flimsy and the quality appeared just fair. It was not what I expected from SmartPak and I returned it.

Runs Large
My mare is an average size and this runs large. Also, the adjustable chin piece could use work, some of the holes are misshapen and it’s hard to adjust.
Overall, a fine halter for at home.

Nice idea, break away strap broke
I bought this in July, and loved the color and the concept, but a month ago the break away leather strap split and broke! My horse can be rough on things and found it on the ground. Would not use a leather breakaway strap with a nylon halter again.
