Freehold, NJ — If you can’t have a champion in your stable, you can at least have their halter.

The halters of many of the sport’s top horses are available for purchase to benefit adoption and rescue groups that serve Standardbred horses in both the U.S. and Canada.

Halters worn by horses such as Moni Maker, Art Major, Bunny Lake, Cam’s Card Shark, Cathedra, Lucky Jim, Peaceful Way, Somebeachsomewhere and Western Ideal are available for purchase for a tax deductible donation between $125 and $250.

Those ready to do some early holiday shopping will find a large assortment of halters available from their favorite horses.

Dozens of other horses’ halters are listed on the website www.ustrotting.com/haltersforhope.cfm along with ordering information.
