Continuous duty equine halter

Abstract

A safety halter includes a nose band which is formed of an upper nose band connected to a lower nose band by connecting rings. A crown piece is connected to a throat latch by connecting rings. The crown piece and throat latch are joined to the nose band by cheek pieces. A connecting piece extends between the lower nose band and the throat latch. The crown piece, throat latch and lower nose band are provided with safety release mechanisms which will separate when subjected to a tension exceeding a predetermined threshold. The strategic location of the safety release mechanisms ensures that the safety halter will release regardless of which part of the safety halter becomes ensnared providing greater safety than conventional halters and conventional safety halters.
