To Measure for a Halter~

To measure for a halter, we ask that you give us the measurement of the leather or nylon of a well fitted halter that you are currently using. When measuring without the benefit of a well fitting halter, meausre the nose circumference about two fingers under the prominent cheek bone (ALL THE WAY AROUND!). Then using that mark, measure from one side of the cheek, all the way around the poll to the other side. Please also include the length from the throatlatch to where the noseband would sit under the horses head. This is very important.
