Abstract

A safety head halter (1) for a horse comprising a strap (2) arranged in an eightshape comprising a nose loop (2a) arranged around nose of the horse; a neck loop (2b) arranged around neck of the horse, and a cross (2c) where the nose loop (2a) and the neck loop (2b) meet and arranged below jaw of the horse. The head halter (1) further comprises two side panels (3, 4) each comprising a lower channel (3a; 4a) and an upper channel (3b; 4b). The nose loop (2a) is slidably arranged in the lower channel (3a; 4a) and the neck loop (2b) is slidably arranged in the upper channel (3b; 4b) of each side panel (3, 4) such that when the strap (2) is pulled with a pulling force, the strap (2) slides in at least one of the lower channels and/or upper channels (3a, 4a; 3b, 4b) and thereby extends in a direction of the pulling force.

Description

Illustrate a scenario when the foal wearing the safety head halter gets entangled with the head halter in its hoof.
Detailed description ln the following disclosure, a safety head halter for a horse, especially for a foal, will be explained which decreases risks associated with wearing a head halter such as entanglement. Thereby, a safety head halter is provided that the breeder may leave on the foal also when the foal is not supervised, whereby the foal can wear the safety head halter for longer times and thereby faster become accepted by the foal. lf the safety head halter is exposed to a pulling force, typically caused by the horse's movement when it tries to escape entanglement in an external object, the safety head halter will be extended in a direction of the pulling force as the strap slides in one or more channels. The safety head halter may thereby enable the foal to remove the object while the safety head halter remains on the horse's head as there will be a greater distance from the head of the horse and the object which will allow the object to more easily slide out from between the horse's head and the safety head halter.
The safety head halter will now be described in more detail with reference to the Figs. 1 to 6C. Fig. 1 illustrates a horse 30, here a foal, wearing a safety head halter 1 according to some embodiments. The safety head halter 1, hereafter referred to as “head halter 1", is arranged to a head 20 of the horse 30. The head halter 1 comprises a strap 2 and a two side panels 3, 4 (see Fig. 2). The strap 2 is typically made in a single piece. The strap 2 is arranged in an eight-shape comprising a nose loop 2a, a neck loop 2b and cross 2c. ln Fig. 1, the nose loop 2a lies against the nose bone just above the muzzle of the horse 30 and encircles the nose 21. The nose loop 2a ends below the horse's jaw 23. Thus, the nose loop 2a is designed to be arranged around the nose 21 of the horse 30. ln Fig. 1, the neck loop 2b lies against the neck just behind the horse's ears and further against both sides of the jaw 23 (along the cheeks). The neck loop 2b ends below the jaw 23. Thus, the neck loop 2b is designed to be arranged around the neck 22 of the horse 30. At the cross 2c the nose loop 2a and the neck loop 2b meet. The cross 2c is thus arranged
