Foal halters
A well-fitting foal halter is essential for the first steps in a young horse's training and acclimation. At Ruitersport Maddelin, you'll find a carefully selected collection of foal halters that combine comfort, safety, and quality. Our halters are designed with adjustable closures, soft materials, and lightweight construction , ensuring a perfect fit for a foal's small head—without chafing or bothering.
Comfortable and safe from day one
A foal learns quickly, but deserves maximum softness and safety. That's why our foal halters are made of lightweight, supple materials like soft nylon or fine leather, with smooth seams and rounded buckles.
Each model is designed to:
- Distribute pressure evenly ,
- To prevent chafing ,
- Safely let go in times of tension or panic,
- And easily adjustable as the foal grows.
This way you can learn to lead, secure or care for your foal calmly — with confidence in every step.
Adjustable for growth and development
Our foal halters are multi-adjustable at the headpiece, noseband, and throatlatch, allowing them to grow with the young horse's head. Available in various sizes for miniatures, pony foals, and warmbloods , with practical quick-release buckles for everyday convenience.
Stylish and functional
At Ruitersport Maddelin, you're choosing not only ease of use but also style. Our foal halters are available in classic leather for a refined look or nylon versions in bright colors – often with matching foal ropes . Perfect for breeders who want to combine quality and elegance from day one.
Easy to maintain and durable
