It’s not easy to improve on the time-honored halter, but Perri’s Leather has done it again. Their new Cotton Beta Halter combines two excellent materials, heavy cotton and hassle-free Beta, to create a solid, eye-catching halter that is sturdy, economical and virtually maintenance free.

What exactly is Beta? Beta is a lightweight coated nylon that is stronger and more durable than both traditional nylon and leather. It cleans up effortlessly with just a damp cloth and unlike nylon, it is exceptionally fade resistant. Beta is rated and tested for strength and safety while weighing up to 20% less than traditional leather. 

Beta represents a big step forward for everyday halters, according to Carla Perri, owner of Perri’s Leather. “Although it’s one of the most hard-wearing, longest-lasting materials offered in the equine world today, Beta remains soft, supple and remarkably pliable.  Beta also does not absorb sweat or moisture, making it less likely to irritate or chafe your horse,” she says. 

Knowing how the welfare of our equine partners is paramount, Perri’s added the safety and convenience of an easily replaceable break-away tab. This allows the halter to break free if a horse panics, pulls back or gets caught up, lessening the chance of serious injury. If an accident does occur, the broken leather tab can be readily replaced for a fraction of the cost of a new halter.

As always, Perri’s Leather caters to riders with traditional tastes as well as those who enjoy a little flair. With that in mind, they introduced the Cotton Beta Halter in eight color combinations.  For the traditionalist, they combined brown beta with the choice of either navy or hunter green cotton web. Feeling a little flashier? Consider the black cotton web combined with bright blue, lime green, hot pink, purple, turquoise or blaze orange beta. 

Whichever combination you choose, you can be confident that you have chosen a halter that is safe, beautiful, and durable. Perri’s Cotton Beta Halter won’t just get the job done; it will outlast ordinary halters and outperform your expectations.

Perri’s Cotton Beta Halter (Item #175) comes in Colors: Navy or Hunter Green Cotton with Brown Beta or Black Cotton with Bright Blue, Lime Green, Hot Pink, Purple, Turquoise or Blaze Orange Beta and Sizes: Cob, Horse & Oversize and sells for MSRP: $59.95.
