FAQs

GG vs Standard Halters

Why did we go to the trouble of developing and designing our own halters? Because we want horses to be as comfortable as possible in them. This video outlines what sets our halter apart from traditional ones.

Measure Your Horse For a Halter

A full, step-by-step video tutorial on how to measure your horse for the correct size GG Equine Premium Breakaway Haltter

What Part of the Halter is Breakaway?

The leather crownpiece is an essential part of the GG Equine Premium Breakaway Halter.

Made with real leather and lined underneath with felted wool, the crownpiece is designed to break away at around 100 lbs of pressure in the event your horse, pony, or donkey gets caught on something.

In the event that happens, we sell a leather crown replacement to get your horse back into the pasture safely.

Attach a GG Halter to a GreenGuard Muzzle

We designed and developed the GG Equine Premium Halter specifically for use with the GreenGuard Grazing Muzzle. Here are step-by-step instructions to attaching the muzzle to the halter most effficiently.

Using Tape to Prevent Halter Rubs

Even horses that don't have sensitive skin can develop rubs and bald spots from halters making contact with their faces over long periods of time. A roll of Gorilla Tape can make a big difference in mitigating or preventing halter rubs.

How to Handle Jaw Rubs

Sometimes the buckle, straps, or even the rear part of the muzzle can dig in behind a horse's jaw and cause rubbing.

This video outlines all the adjustments you can make to minimize or even prevent rubs under the jaw and behind the chin.

Quick Fit Check

Only have a couple of minutes? Here's how to do a quick fit check for your horse's GG Premium Breakaway halter.

Can My Horse Use His Own Halter?

The GG Breakaway Halter is designed to keep escape artists from wriggling out of their halters and muzzles.

If your horse has a halter that they are comfortable in, rest easy! We have tips and tricks for adapting any halter with the GreenGuard muzzle.

Still Escaping? Try a Neck Strap or Second Throat Latch.

If your horse has a talent or a gift for pulling the halter over his head, we have a number of ideas, including using a neck strap to anchor the halter. Adding a second throat latch is another great way to prevent halter removal.

Making Mid-Season Adjustments

Spring and Summer are a long time for horse to wear a halter and muzzle combo. Time, wear, and weather pull and stretch things, especially leather. Here are some important adjustments to make as the season wears on so your horse doesn't accidentally slip out and eat the entire pasture.

Remove or Replace the Halter Clip

Need to replace the halter clip or don't like which way it is facing? You're not alone, so we made this guide to removing and/or replacing the halter clip on your horse's GG Premium Halter. Keep in mind that most safety organizations recommend that the clip opening face the horse, so it doesn’t get caught on things.

If you by the grazing muzzle this halter is a must. Attaching the muzzle to this halter gives much more support,comfort and control to the horse than attaching to a regular halter..The regular halter will work but the breakaway halter works better

Gwen, this means a lot to us; thank you! We worked very hard on the design and functionality of the GG Premium Breakaway Halter so that it could keep a horse both secure and comfortable while they wear it. We know that horses would rather not have grazing muzzles, so we try to make the experience as safe and easy on them as possible. Our own horses wear and use our products, so it's not just our business, it's our own horses' lives! We want the same for your horses as we do for our own.

Halter and grazing muzzle

Seems very well made as does the grazing muzzle. Staff were very responsive and helpful in getting the whole thing correctly adjusted. I did have to make further adjustments and hope that when I go to take it off for the night t is all intact! I am optimistic!

Sue, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences with the halter. We designed it in-house and have worked closely with the small business that assembles them. Over the past several years, we've made adjustments and tweaks to make them as adjustable and comfortable for the largest number of animals. We are thrilled that you noticed the effort that's gone into their design and makeup. If you run into any issues at all, feel free to continue to reach out to support@gg-equine.com. We're here to help.

GG Equine Halter and Muzzle THE BEST

GG Equine's muzzle and breakaway halter are WONDERFUL. The way the muzzle and halter is made and fitted (with Jodi's help!) does NOT panic me when I see it on my horse. I know there is a lot of air flow and many openings to get some blades of grass and drink with the GG Equine muzzle- the breakaway halter is another safety feature that I feel very secure with as well. My horse does not mind the muzzle or halter. AWESOME!

Kathy, thank you so much for taking the time to post such a thorough review. Thank you also for recognizing the special work Jodi does with her fitting consults! All of this helps draw folks' attention to the efforts of our woman-owned small business. Our primary goal is to help horses live normal lives with grazing muzzles. We're here for you and your horse if anything should come up in the course of your muzzle journey!

New and improved!

I bought this to replace my old one that I used on 2 different horses over the last 7 yrs or more. I found this one to have some nicer features than the last one and I was a fan of that one too.

Nancy, we're glad to hear your first GreenGuard muzzle proved so durable, and we're grateful you came back to find the muzzle improved! We are always striving to make tweaks here and there to make things even just a little bit easier or more comfortable for the horses who use our products. Thank you so much for sticking with us all these years. We're so appreciative!

Saved my horse

My horse has Laminitis and the only way he could still spend a few hours out with the herd was by using a muzzle. I have used other muzzles in the past, but none of them held up or stayed on well. This halter and grazing basket have been a life saver. Your halter design with all the adjustments makes it so personal to each horse. The quality is excellent and being able to buy specific replacement parts is essential.

CS, thank you so much for sharing your experience. We designed our halters in-house and worked closely to make adjustments and tweaks to them over the past several years. It's gratifying and moving to hear that our products enable at-risk horses to spend precious hours getting exercise and social time with their friends. Please let us know if you or he ever have any questions or issues. And please send us a photo of him sometime! We love to 'meet' the horses we're doing our best to serve!
