haltered

Wearing a headstall

Haltered describes an animal, typically a horse, wearing a halter—the rope or strap harness fitted around the head for leading or restraining: The haltered mare stood calmly in the barn.

It also describes a style of women's top or dress with straps that loop behind the neck, leaving shoulders and back bare: She wore a haltered sundress to the party.
