Kavalkade Size Guide – Halters

The Unicorn Academy halter is available in six sizes, from mini Shetland to full-size horse. It can be adjusted on both sides, which helps accommodate differences in conformation within the same size.

Sizes

Size For
Mini Shetland Mini Shetlands, foals
Shetland Shetlands and small ponies
Pony 1 Medium-sized ponies
Pony 2 Large ponies
Cob Medium-build horses, thoroughbreds
Full Saddle horses, thoroughbreds

Checking the fit

  • The noseband should sit two fingers below the cheekbone, never over the nostrils: if it is too low, it can interfere with breathing.
  • The crownpiece should sit just behind the ears, without pulling.
  • You should be able to slide two fingers flat between the noseband and the nasal bone.

If the halter fits well on one side but not the other, adjust the two side buckles before changing size.
