We are in dire need of a break away halter for a mini donkey. I know that horses can break the leather on a break away halter and get to safety... but seriously... can a mini??? It seems the break away halter for a 200-300 lb mini is made the same way as a break away halter for a 1000 lb horse. I don't get it.

We are in a situation where we need to keep a halter on our mini donkey gelding when he's in the pasture... ASAP. What is our safest option??

A miniature can break the leather on a miniature breakaway halter. Its designed so they can, and its instict for them to keep struggling until they are free.

so. ill
if you don't think he can break free with what you have, cut it down or replace the breakaway part with a thinner or even dry rotten piece.
