Some horses require just that little bit of extra control—when leading, transporting, or working in hand. Ruitersport Maddelin 's control halters are designed to give you more control and influence without putting unnecessary strain on the horse. They combine strength, safety, and precision , allowing you to act calmly and confidently, even with spirited or young horses.

More control, while maintaining softness

Our control halters offer a subtle way to apply extra pressure or restraint when needed. Depending on the model, the pressure is distributed across the nose, chin, or neck—while maintaining comfort and clear communication .
Ideal for:

• Horses that are strong or break away,
• Young horses that are still learning to follow,
• Stallions or sensitive horses during transport,
• Groundwork or training by hand.

Each model has been carefully tested for safety, balance and material strength , so you can work with confidence.
