865.0. "Arab size halters?" by WEDOIT::NANCY () Thu Feb 23 1989 16:40

    Last year I borrowed one, this year I have to buy one.
    I need a halter that will fit an Arab foal (suckling size). I would
    prefer it to be leather. The halters I see in stores for sucklings
    are too big and are usually nylon. Is there a store in southern N.H. 
    and the vicinity that carries this item for newborn foals?. 
                                        
    		or
    
    Can someone give me the names and addresses of companies (so I could
    get a catalog - a toll free number would be nice) that carry Arab
    size halters. 
    
    I am also having a difficult time finding a halter for a colt that is 
    almost a year old. A colt size is too small and an adult size is too
    big! Seems the stores like AGWAY and STATE LINE TACK cater to all
    the other horses and forget young Arabs. Is this a difficult size for 
    fitting Arab halters? Any tips for finding halters that fit and
    possibly getting leather ones?

865.1Arab Halters...DASXPS::SLADEFri Feb 24 1989 07:3712
    
    	Hi Nancy-
    
    	You might want to look into the Salem tack shop.  It is right
    on Rt. 28, off Rt. 213.  I bought an Arab halter there a few weeks
    ago and they are great about altering if needed.  Maybe they might
    even make a halter for you???  The store is right next to the Subaru
    (sp)?  car sales.
    
    Good luck!

    Have you tried the saddle shed in Grafton, Mass?  I got a small
    halter there a few years back.  They advertise in the Pedlar.
    
    Good luck
