A safety halter 100 for a horse includes a nose band formed of an upper nose band 110 connected to a lower nose band 120 by connecting rings 610, 620. A crown piece 210 is connected to a throat latch 310 by connecting rings. The crown piece and throat latch are joined to the nose band by cheek pieces 410, 420. A connecting piece 510 extends between the lower nose band and the throat latch. The crown piece, throat latch and lower nose band are provided with safety release mechanisms 220, 230, 320, 130 which will separate when subjected to a tension exceeding a predetermined threshold. For example the crown piece comprises a centrally located poll section having a pair of side pieces depending therefrom. The stiffness of the side pieces is greater than that of the poll region. This safety release mechanism may comprise a hook and loop fastening system 920, 930. |
