A leather halter is much safer to use in the field as it is much easier to break if your horse gets its halter caught on something.You wouldn't want him or her to get caught then panic and have a nasty accident! You can buy field 'safe' halters that have velcro or rubber instead of metal these are desined to snap should your horse get stuck on something.The fact the halter is old doesn't matter just use a newer or nylon one for leading your horse in' your horse doesn't care about appearence.

Yes, but be aware that the other horses will likely bite or pull on the halter - which is why most people take them off when turning out their horses.

No neveryour horse can get the halter caught on a fence and do some DAMAGEon howrse-FalseDepending on where you horse is kept if the field has no barbed wire then you can keep the horses halter on but if the field has barbed wire then no because the horse may become stuck to it. Also it may help to catch your horse if it escapes.
Is it safe to leave a horses halter on in a pasture yes or no?
Personally, I like to leave my horse's halter off to avoid it getting caught on things and also to avoid halter rubs. However, sometimes it is not practical to do that, as is my case. I board at a barn where they require the halters be left on so that the horses are easy for them to catch when they bring them in. Since he has to wear one, I make sure he has a breakaway halter. His has a leather crown strap which will snap if he gets caught on something and pulls hard. They also have velcro types available.
Is it safe to leave a horses halter on when he is turned out in pasture?
It depends on the turnout halter. For a horse to be safe out in pasture with a halter on, it must have a breakaway crownpiece. These are normally leather, but I have seen some with a velcro piece. You can normally get replacement crownpieces for breakaway halters, or pieces to convert a normal halter into a breakaway.
Is it safe to leave a horse in pasture with it's bridle on?
Many people do because their horses are hard to catch, but the best thing to do is train a horse to easily and willingly be caught so you don't have to leave halters on, just to eliminate possible incidents, like while trying to scratch their head with their hoof, mostly with shod horses- the horseshoe catches on the halter easily and can make the horse fall if it gets stuck, and he can seriously injure himself. Or when scratching their head on a tree or fence post, there is a possibility that it could get hung up on a branch or somthing, frightening and possibly injuring the horse. It is made less dangerous with break-away halters, but it's best to not leave a halter on.
Is it safe to tern out a horse with a holter on?
It is very safe to turn a horse out without a halter. I work at a horse farm, and the only horses we turn out with halters on are those that are VERY hard to catch. Or if the horse has a tendency to escape.
Is it safe to leave a horse halter on when he is turned out in the pasture?
There are special safety release halter designed for this purpose. If the horse gets caught on something and pulls, part of the halter will break and the horse will be able to pull free. Safety release halters are safe to keep on in the pasture. Any other type of halter is not. Horses can easily get caught up and, being pray animals with a strong flight instinct, panic and hurt themselves. We have left regular halters on any horse we feel is a flight risk for decades and have never had an issue. I feel it is safe and a reasonable thing to do, if you believe the horse could escape. Having said this, leaving halters on for extended periods of time can cause other health issues. You need to make sure the halter is clean and the horse does get some time with no halter on.
