Hi All,
thanks for the good suggestions on fitting my big headed goat with a halter for packing..
We measured his head (an 'x' shape over nose and up around the head...38 1/2 inches. Just between the 2 biggest sizes on most charts, and we don't get where you can snap the lead line --down under the chin??)
The patient folks at our 2 farm stores have watched us measure, purchase and return 1. a weaning halter
2. a mini horse halter
3. a foal halter
4. a yearling halter
and finally...............5. a llama halter.
The llama came closest, but the nose was pretty constricting and the head strap was about 2 inches too short.
For those who suggested the 3 measurement school of thought, His nose is 9 1/2 inches around. the measurement from lip to base of ear is 8" and the head (jaw around behind the ear) is 18 1/2 or 19 depending on who is measuring...
ANY other ideas would be gratefully accepted! He is very patient as we try one thing after the other!
Private replies are fine. Thank you.
