Dually Halter Sizing help.

[T_K]

I want to buy a Dually halter to help me load my New Foreast when I move her to the new yard, after this I would like to use it as a bridle for my Haflinger.

The NF is 14.1hh and has a cob size headcollar on the top holes, the Haffie is 14.3hh and also has a cob size headcollar which is on top holes but is a different make and is more snug fitting...

I though the black medium size would be best but after looking on eBay I found one for sale as it was too big for 14hh NF.

So, any recommendations which size I should buy?

not the black one i use that for my 15.2 tb its a medium, i think the red one is a small, they are very adjustable!!!!

I have had the black one on my 16.3hh tb but he does have a weeney little head

The ih lady that came out for him even tried the red one on him and it still did up

I have the black one for my 15.2 and its huge on him its on the last holes, i think the small would be fine for you

Thanks for the info, bit miffed as my haffie looks so much better in black!!

try the black, id say, its snugly fits my 15.2hh welshie but thats not on the top holes and he does actually have a reasonably small head

Do you think somewhere would let me try one? You only seem to be able to buy them online.....

 

[Pixxie]

as far as im aware you can only get them online. you could ask around and see if anyone you know has one?

i borrowed my YM's

I use a red one on both my 15.3 arab and my chunky 12.1 Exmoor pony.

If you NF and Haffie have chunky heads, then maybe go for a black one.

You can always put more holes in them with a heated up nail

I tried someones red one on my 15hh cob and it wouldn't even do up so i would got for the black one

Personally I wouldn't bother with a Dually I'd get a RM pressure halter which IMHO releases better than the Dually and is one size fits all

 

[kellyeaton]

red is the smallest one than black middle sized then blue the largest!

 

[OneInAMillion]

we have a red one which fits a 12.3 welsh with a large head
but it is too small for our 14.2 thoroughbred with a head that is small enough to use a 4 inch bit!!!

 

[T_K]

Thanks all, I think I will go for the black one. It will be easier to make smaller tahn the red one will be to make bigger!

I have the black one for my dainty headed Oldenburg.

My local tack shop sells them, no use as your in yorkshire, but if they do they cant be online only & other tack shops must stock them too, maybe you could try one out that way? Failing that if u get one that doesn't fit put it on ebay and make ur money back, they hold their value

That's what I was thinking TBH, I've seen them for sale on eBay for more than they are going for on the IH website!
