Earlier this year I was contacted by Two Horse Tack to try out the Better Than Leather Turnout Halter and looked forward to the opportunity to review another one of their products. I had this review drafted months ago, but it is being posted rather delayed due to my daughter deciding to arrive several weeks earlier than we had anticipated. Before everything descended into chaos, I did manage to jot down my first impressions and get out to the barn to take some photos.
I'm very familiar with biothane/beta biothane material as I pretty much exclusively only use synthetic tack when I ride or do anything with my horse. This is my first ever experience with the "Better Than Leather" material. I was quite surprised by how much it actually looks like real leather. The material is thinner and more pliable than regular beta biothane. It has a matte finish to it that gives it the appearance of traditional leather while still being easy to clean and maintain. As usual with all THT products, the halter is customizable and is made to order. The options are endless for individual needs and wants. This turnout halter comes in black or brown beta biothane and in 3 different material widths to compliment a variety of head sizes.
i still have my THT halter (a very pretty blue!) from when i first got charlie, and it's still in great shape! it doesn't get a lot of regular use bc our horses wear their halters full time in turnout, and i'm paranoid about the biothane being breakaway-safe, even tho it probably is. it's nice to have as a spare tho!
ReplyDeleteQuest is turned out without a halter, but I def see your point about halter safety in a panic situation. I noticed that THT does have a leather crown and cheek piece tab option, so at least there's that!
