Monongrammed Halter Ordering Tips
Sizing Information
Horse/Pony Sizes
Halters are sized to industry standards. If you are a current horse owner and usually buy a certain size for your horse, you will probably purchase that same size here. If you are purchasing the halter as a gift, there are a few ways to determine what size the horse needs.
1. Ask the owner (probably the best way, unless you want it to be a surprise).
2. Check the measurements of a current halter that fits.
3. Ask someone close to the owner or the horse who won't give away your surprise to assist.
Horse Sized halters are often determined by the weight of the horse, but please double check the measurements against the chart below to ensure proper fit.
Measurements: Measure the current halter, then email me with the measurements. Two measurements should be taken:
A. the crown/throat length and
B. the nose/chin circumference.
The measurements below are taken on the inside of the halter, with the halter laying flat as shown in the photo:

Miniature Horse Sizing
Sizes listed below (except XS) come in a fixed length nose/chin (Basic), as well as an adjustable nose/chin.
Probably the most important measurement on these halters is the circumference of the nose/chin. If we can get a good fit there, the rest of the halter should be fine. I highly recommend the adjustable halters, since they allow for an even better fit in this area. Whether you are purchasing the mini halter as a gift or you are the miniature horse owner, I do recommend we go by the actual measurements. The measurements shown below are actual halter measurements taken on the inside of the halters. You will probably want to order a halter that is at least an inch larger than your actual nose measurement.
NOTE: Names may be placed on nose or cheeks. Since cheeks are usually under 4" of monogrammable space, please limit to 3-5 spaces of lettering.
