I have no idea but she is BEAUTIFUL!

EDITED: Actually, I do have an idea *lol* ... She's very fine and dainty so I would go for the thinner halter so as to show off more of her and not clunk her up too much.

Still beautiful though ...

one inch, the half inch ones are normally only used on foals.

sure! i ordered mine from horse and harmony :) seemed reasonably priced and it's cotton. robinsons have a nylon one which is cheaper but i prefer cotton. here's the link :)

I've never been sure if I like the plaited ones. I definately don't like the rope ones, but I'm not willing to fork out £30 to see if a plaited one suits Daffy. I bought my halter from Ebay.

i have seen the rope ones look nice on the real hairies - dales, fells, highlands, but agree they are often very unflattering on other breeds.
