The SOLID LEATHER HALTER WITH BRASS NAME PLATE is a must if you like a halter to stay on a horse in the paddock — because if he gets caught on a fence post, or something else really solid, the halter will break and he will be free. Nylon will not break, and the results could be catastrophic.. The name plate is solid brass. All the fittings are also solid brass. This is a leather halter that will last as long as your horse — if you keep it oiled. Colors black or brown.
