Kentucky Halters & Headcollars: Comfort and Style in the Stable
Kentucky Horsewear halters combine a stylish, recognisable look with real comfort for your horse. Every design pays attention to the places where pressure builds up, with soft padding, smart shaping and full adjustability, so your horse is comfortable whether it’s tied up for grooming, travelling or turned out.
The range includes the Kentucky Velvet Halter, which has a soft microfibre velvet outside with a reinforced nylon base inside for durability. The Kentucky Anatomic Halter has a shaped headpiece that relieves pressure behind the ears, helping to prevent tension in the neck. For horses with sensitive skin, the Kentucky Sheepskin Headcollar is covered in soft vegan sheepskin and is a popular choice for long journeys. You can also pair your Kentucky halter with a matching Kentucky lead rope.
Kentucky uses its signature artificial leather and vegan materials throughout, which makes the headcollars easy to clean and 100% animal-friendly. Complete the look with a matching Kentucky lead rope, and browse the full collection of Kentucky halters and headcollars at Emmers Equestrian.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kentucky Halters
Where is Kentucky Horsewear from?
Kentucky Horsewear is a Belgian brand.
Which Kentucky halter is most comfortable for my horse?
For sensitive horses, choose a Kentucky halter with soft padding, such as the Sheepskin or Velvet Halter. If your horse tends to tense up behind the ears, the Anatomic Halter with its shaped headpiece is a good choice.
What sizes do Kentucky halters come in?
Kentucky halters usually come in sizes such as Pony, Cob and Full. They are adjustable on both the headpiece and under the chin, so you can fine-tune the fit to your horse’s head.
Are Kentucky halters vegan?
Yes. Kentucky uses artificial leather and vegan sheepskin instead of animal materials, so its halters are 100% animal-friendly.
Can I wash my Kentucky headcollar?
Some models can be machine washed; the Sheepskin Headcollar, for example, at 30 degrees in a protective bag. Artificial leather halters can simply be wiped clean. Always check the care instructions on the product page, and don’t use glycerine soap on artificial leather.
Are Kentucky halters suitable for travelling?
Yes. The padded models, especially the Sheepskin Headcollar, are designed to reduce poll pressure, which makes them comfortable for long trips in the trailer or lorry.
Is there a matching lead rope for my Kentucky halter?
Yes, we sell Kentucky lead ropes in matching colours and materials, such as the Velvet Lead Rope to go with the Velvet Halter, so you can create a complete, coordinated set.
