Halter
A
halter (US) or
headcollar (UK) is headgear that is used to lead or tie up
livestock and, occasionally, other animals; it fits behind the ears (behind the
poll), and around the
muzzle. To handle the animal, usually a
lead rope or
lead shank is attached. On smaller animals, such as dogs, a
leash is attached to the halter.
