The difference between a headcollar and a halter is that a headcollare is attached at the neck.... giving tho horse a free head. It has the same use as a halter , just giving the horse more comfort
a horse wears a bridle whilst ridden or a headcollar or halter when in or being led from or to the field
There is no difference between a pony and horse halter. All it is is the size. So, tipically, they are both called halters.
Well Showmanship is judged on how you look and how your horse looks. Halter is judged on conformation.

Depends which headgear you are talking about. A headcollar is what you use to lead them and turnout etc. A bridle is what you ride with and you can get many different types. A headcollar can also be known as a halter.
Some people consider a headcollar a halter, while others consider a headcollar a bridle. To put a halter on a horse stand on the fore-side of the head, slip the nose part of the halter over the nose, pulling it up the nose and bring the poll strap over the head right behind the ears. Buckle the halter making sure it is not too loose or too tight. To bridle a horse stand in the same place as with the halter. Hold the bit in your left hand and the headstall in your right hand. Offer the bit to the horse by gently putting the bit to his mouth. He should open his mouth and slip the bit in his mouth and bring the headstall up and over his ears. Make sure the bit is not clunking on his teeth or that it is so tight that it pulls the corners of the mouth up into a "smile". Adjust buckles and straps and make any adjustments so the bit or bridle are neither too tight or too loose. For most bits (especially shaffle bits) there can be a small "smile" at each corner of the horse's mouth. One wrinkle is the rule of thumb. Just not a big "smile".
Well, if you are going to any tack shop, ask the owner. A basic horse, needs a medium to large halter. small ponies can use foal/yearling halters. if you have a Draft(large breed) then they need the biggest one you can find.
Well, bridles are used for when you are riding. Most have bits, although there is one type called a bosal that uses no bit. Bridles also have reins to hold while riding. You can use a halter like a bridle on a horse, just using the halter and a lead rope, but you cannot attach a bit so it can be very UNSAFE. When riding, you should always use a bridle. Halters are made to lead horses from place to place.
depends on what type pf harness you mean. For tying them up say in a stable or horsebox, we use a headcollar, for riding them we use a bridle. but there are many different types of headcollar or bridle.
On a halter for everyday use nylon is the best. Most of these halters run between $15-20. Plus another $10 for a lead rope. If your buying a leather halter or leather grooming halter this will probably be $50 and up. If a show halter is what your looking for you will be spending much more. The lower end show halters that have silver plate can be had for around $200. A nicer show halter with sterling silver start around $500 and go up from there.
