Solid brass hardware. UV coated rope for longevity.
High quality genuine nylon webbing or oil dipped leather.
Unique construction ensures a fit that will grow with your foal. The width of the nose is adjustable by sliding the nose rope to readjust. Features a rope catch shank that can be removed.
For foals, we recommend pairing the Baby HYBRID with the 22' Foal Handling Line which allows a gentle transition to leading by the chin.
A mistunderstanding of poll pressure is the #1 reason a foal flips over. You can lessen this risk by making a gentle transition to leading by first using the a foal handling line to as a girth rope, then a neck rope, as you prepare the foal for understanding pressure incrementally.
If you break down their learning this way, the risk of flip over will be greatly reduced when you start leading from the chin of the headcollar.
Foal fits average Quarter Horse foals to approximately 45 days old and large sport breeds until about 35 days old. Figure 8 design.
The best halter experience for foals
The foal version of our patented Hybrid Halter features a leather poll and cheek for stability and a criss crossed figure eight design with slide ring undercarriage. The slide ring has less range of motion than our adult horse versions and just enough play for the young foal's learning thanks to the figure eight design and allows for smooth and easy threading of a foal handling line (as a girth rope) or later a seamless transition to a snap end lead rope. Depending on breed/size - fits up to 45 days old for Quarter Horses and to 35 days for sport horses. HEC has 12 years of experience making this original foal halter design, which we have continuously iterated for the youngest equine learners.
The application of poll pressure for foals can lead to increased risk of dangerous flipover, so the Hybrid Halter Foal Slip is designed around the concept of steadying support of the foal's entire head to reduce such risks. Will also fit very small miniature horses that are smaller than our standard mini size. Also fits most adult goats and sheep.
