Our
alpaca halters use a 5 ring system which provides for adjustment both
under the chin and behind the ears. Halter construction includes all nylon webbing, neoprene snaps and stainless steel rings. The lead is 2 meters long with a high quality stainless steel snap. Halters are available in 3 sizes: Small - Generally suitable for most yearlings, Medium and Large. |
|
| Halters
are black with an optional decorative nose piece. The optional
"fancy dress" nose piece features a fabric ribbon sewn into
the black nose band. Please specify standard black or "fancy dress" when ordering. There is no extra charge for the fancy nose band. |

Fitting
Instructions:
The nose piece must be loose enough to slide all the way up the nose - close to the eyes. This positions the strap on the bone, not the soft cartilage of the lower nose. This positioning is extremely important as the alpaca may suffocate if the strapping is on the soft cartilage. |
|
| The neck
strap must be very snug, that is, just able to snap shut without
discomfort to the alpaca - one finger clearance under the nose strap is
a good rule of thumb.
|
|
|
| When training an alpaca with a new halter it
is best to remove the halter to make adjustments. Once properly
adjusted, subsequent fittings are a "snap".
Neoprene snaps are used with the full knowledge that they are weaker than buckles. This weakness is more than adequately offset by the ease of use, quick attach/release function, light weight and non-rusting characteristics. We prefer to break the snaps rather than the alpaca's neck! In the very rare instance of breakage, we shall be happy to replace the snap free of charge. |
