Show halters : These are available in two basic types : Western : the western show halter is a doubled and stitched leather halter, decorated with silver or buckstitching on the noseband and cheek-pieces. This type is usually available with a matching lead and chain. Arabian : The Arabian show halter consists of two main leather pieces, the headpiece with a buckle adjustment on the near side, and the top half of the noseband. The lower half of the noseband is replaced by chain, stitched to a leather lead. This halter is often rolled, and it is always narrower than the western show halter. 1, record 3, English, - show%20halter
